How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tai'r Bull
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

When to call us in Tai'r Bull
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that is seen better days

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Tai'r Bull: your questions answered
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you come to Tai'r Bull?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Tai'r Bull for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Landlord and trade work in Tai'r Bull
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tai'r Bull use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- 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 generally be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
