Bath re-enamelling in Sgwrfa, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we are called out for in Sgwrfa
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Sgwrfa. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repair or replace in Sgwrfa?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business
- A year’s guarantee on all work

- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Sgwrfa: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Sgwrfa

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
