Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Tiger Bay, Cardiff

- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tiger Bay
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’re often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Tiger Bay: your questions answered
Are there extra charges for Tiger Bay?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

What affects the price in Tiger Bay
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath split right through the body
- A bath that is rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tiger Bay?
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that will not shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who will actually do the work
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CF10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Landlord and trade work in Tiger Bay
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tiger Bay use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
