Bath Re-enamelling in Gileston
Problem with your bath in Gileston? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gileston
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and lots of chips and rust spots, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Gileston and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths

- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

What affects the price in Gileston
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gileston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Gileston: your questions answered
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across the Vale of Glamorgan.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
