Bath re-enamelling in Pontypool without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can normally put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Landlord and trade work in Pontypool
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Torfaen and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Pontypool
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NP4 postcode.

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
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.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
