Bath re-enamelling in Tan-y-maes, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Tan-y-maes
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Tan-y-maes
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Thin, worn enamel in places

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price

Advice
What affects the price in Tan-y-maes
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Tan-y-maes. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Tan-y-maes: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do you come to Tan-y-maes?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Tan-y-maes. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Repairing versus replacing in Tan-y-maes
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add 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.
