About our bath re-enamelling in Merthyr Dyfan
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and thin, worn enamel in places.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Merthyr Dyfan
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Merthyr Dyfan. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
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.
