Bath re-enamelling in Nant-y-cafn, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Common questions in Nant-y-cafn
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What we are called out for in Nant-y-cafn
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that will not shift
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Landlord and trade work in Nant-y-cafn
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A bath that is rusted through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
