Bath re-enamelling in Rhyd-y-car without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We are frequently asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Rhyd-y-car
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you come to Rhyd-y-car?
We do. We send a technician to Rhyd-y-car for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Rhyd-y-car?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- One visit for most repairs
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Rhyd-y-car
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Common reasons people in Rhyd-y-car contact us include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
