Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tir-y-dail
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for staining under the taps and around the waste and a coloured bath you want in white, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Tir-y-dail and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tir-y-dail?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Common reasons people in Tir-y-dail contact us are:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Wear marks under the taps
What your quote should include

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SA18 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Tir-y-dail questions
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start 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.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Tir-y-dail, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
