Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Rhiw, Caerphilly
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Rhiw, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Bath re-enamelling in Rhiw, done in place
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repairing versus replacing in Rhiw
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why Rhiw clients choose us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- No extra charge for your area
- We leave the room as we found it
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Rhiw: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NP11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
