Bath re-enamelling in Gwaun Treoda without replacing anything
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 cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Gwaun Treoda: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Gwaun Treoda. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
