DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in St Athan
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and staining under the taps and around the waste, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in St Athan and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in St Athan
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in St Athan
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
