Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Mountain Ash
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mountain Ash as everywhere else we work.

Questions from Mountain Ash
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What we are called out for in Mountain Ash
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts

The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
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.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Mountain Ash
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
