Bath re-enamelling in Talgarth without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s staining under the taps and around the waste and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repairing versus replacing in Talgarth
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Talgarth clients choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Work done at your home or business
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Normally one visit, start to finish

What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays

What else we do in Talgarth
What affects the price in Talgarth
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Talgarth. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage

We don’t add 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.

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Common questions in Talgarth
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Common problems we fix in Talgarth
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
