Bath re-enamelling in Gilwern, done in place
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and lots of chips and rust spots, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Gilwern and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Gilwern
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover Gilwern?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Gilwern and the rest of Monmouthshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Gilwern.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Landlord and trade work in Gilwern
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Gilwern, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Gilwern
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
