Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Grangetown
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Grangetown questions
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Grangetown?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Repair or replace in Grangetown?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Grangetown?
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
What your quote should include

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

- How your room will be protected
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CF11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
