Bath Re-enamelling in Gwernesney
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Gwernesney, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gwernesney
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Questions from Gwernesney
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Gwernesney.
When to call us in Gwernesney
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Look out for these signs:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Gwernesney, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Gwernesney. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
