Bath Re-enamelling in Porthyrhyd

- Resurfacing from £350

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Porthyrhyd
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Porthyrhyd. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Porthyrhyd questions
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Repair or replace in Porthyrhyd?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Porthyrhyd
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Porthyrhyd as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full 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.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
