Bath Re-enamelling in Goetre Fawr
We travel to Goetre Fawr for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Goetre Fawr
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. We’re often asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and wear marks under the taps, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
