Bath re-enamelling at your home in Maeshafn
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When to call us in Maeshafn
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that won’t shift
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Maeshafn: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you cover the entire of Flintshire?

Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Maeshafn. The price comes down to:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Respect the curing time we give you
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
