Bath re-enamelling at your home in Pwll-coch
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
What affects the price in Pwll-coch
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Pwll-coch get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Common questions in Pwll-coch
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Are there extra charges for Pwll-coch?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
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.
