Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
FAQs for Nantmawr
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Nantmawr?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets 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.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Nantmawr
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
