About our bath re-enamelling in Ruabon
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. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and stains that won’t shift, we can help, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We leave the room as we found it
- Work done at your home or business

Ruabon: your questions answered
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you come to Ruabon?
We do. Technicians travel to Ruabon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ruabon
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
