Bath Re-enamelling in Moriah
Our technicians come to Moriah for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Moriah
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through

Landlords, agents and businesses in Moriah
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Ceredigion and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Moriah
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Moriah
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Are there extra charges for Moriah?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Moriah?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: 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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
