Bath Re-enamelling for St Fagans homes
We travel to St Fagans for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Bath re-enamelling in St Fagans, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cardiff.

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
What affects the price in St Fagans
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Questions from St Fagans
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to St Fagans?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to St Fagans for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
