- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Maes-y-dre
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Maes-y-dre and across Flintshire.

Common questions in Maes-y-dre
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you work in Maes-y-dre?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Maes-y-dre. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Maes-y-dre
For anyone letting property in or around Maes-y-dre, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Maes-y-dre?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Maes-y-dre. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
