Bath Re-enamelling for Pontcanna homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Pontcanna, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Bath re-enamelling in Pontcanna without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Pontcanna
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Common reasons people in Pontcanna contact us are:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An old resurfacing that’s failing

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Questions from Pontcanna
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
