After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and stains that won’t shift, in basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Maerdy: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Maerdy?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
