Bath re-enamelling at your home in Talwrn
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Talwrn
Do you come to Talwrn?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Talwrn for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How do I book?

How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Have chips seen to early
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
