Bath re-enamelling in St Arvans, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in St Arvans and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

St Arvans questions
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your NP16 postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Common problems we fix in St Arvans
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Stains that will not shift
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price covers travel
Repair or replace in St Arvans?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
For a price in St Arvans, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Landlords, agents and businesses in St Arvans
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
