About our bath re-enamelling in Gilfach
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

FAQs for Gilfach
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
