About our bath re-enamelling in Tal-y-bont
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair

Repairing versus replacing in Tal-y-bont
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Tal-y-bont
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- What happens if they find more damage
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Tal-y-bont questions
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Tal-y-bont
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tal-y-bont. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
