Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for thin, worn enamel in places and stains that won’t shift, across Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 is what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Llandaff questions
Do you cover the entire of Cardiff?
The entire UK, including all of Cardiff. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
