Bath re-enamelling in Harlech without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and staining under the taps and around the waste, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Harlech. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Harlech
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches

Common questions in Harlech
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Harlech?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LL46 postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
