How we handle bath re-enamelling in Old Radnor
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for chips and rust in more than one place and worn patches where water runs and sits, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Old Radnor and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Old Radnor
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- No extra charge for your area
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Generally one visit, start to finish

Questions from Old Radnor
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you come to Old Radnor?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Old Radnor from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What areas do you cover?
All of Powys, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Have chips seen to early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we’re called out for in Old Radnor
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
