Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths

About our bath re-enamelling in Tal-y-bont

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Read our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tal-y-bont. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

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.

Tal-y-bont questions

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Tal-y-bont?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you cover Tal-y-bont?

We do. We send a technician to Tal-y-bont for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Tal-y-bont

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
