Bath re-enamelling in Galon Uchaf without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Galon Uchaf
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Galon Uchaf, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Galon Uchaf
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we are called out for in Galon Uchaf
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
Comparing quotes
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can

Related advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
