How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Gwaun-Cae-Gurwen. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
