How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tre'r llai
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you’re dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and thin, worn enamel in places, we can generally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?

Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
What affects the price in Tre'r llai
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Tre'r llai. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: 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.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Tre'r llai
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace in Tre'r llai?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
