How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gwrhay
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are thin, worn enamel in places and chips and rust in more than one place.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gwrhay and across Caerphilly.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What affects the price in Gwrhay
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Gwrhay, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Gwrhay: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you cover Gwrhay?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Gwrhay from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Landlord and trade work in Gwrhay
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
