- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.

Bath re-enamelling in Porth Teigr without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and several chips and rust patches.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Porth Teigr questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Are there extra charges for Porth Teigr?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Porth Teigr and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350.

- Colour-matched on site
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
