What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
About our bath re-enamelling in Porth-y-waen

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit

- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Porth-y-waen
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.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who turns up on the day
- How the room is protected while they work
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no charge for travel to Porth-y-waen. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Porth-y-waen, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
