About our bath re-enamelling in Pontnewydd
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are staining under the taps and around the waste and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Pontnewydd questions
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that is rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Pontnewydd
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Look out for these signs:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Before you book anyone

- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Pontnewydd
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
