Bath re-enamelling in Tir-Phil, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and thin, worn enamel in places.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. 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 pay close attention there.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NP24 postcode.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What we’re called out for in Tir-Phil
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
Look out for any of the following:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
