Bath Re-enamelling in Rumney
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Rumney and the surrounding area, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Rumney
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and several chips and rust patches.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Rumney and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Common questions in Rumney
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cardiff and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
