How we handle bath re-enamelling in Old Colwyn
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. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and wear marks under the taps.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Old Colwyn and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
Repairing versus replacing in Old Colwyn
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we’re called out for in Old Colwyn
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Stains that will not shift
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

- Who turns up on the day

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
