Bath re-enamelling in Gurnos without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gurnos and across Merthyr Tydfil.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Gurnos
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Look out for these signs:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A roll-top that’s seen better days

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access

FAQs for Gurnos
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you work in Gurnos?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gurnos. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
