Bath re-enamelling in Tintern, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are frequently asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Monmouthshire.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Tintern
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Tintern. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Tintern, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Tintern, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
