About our bath re-enamelling in Trefeglwys
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Questions from Trefeglwys
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Trefeglwys?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Trefeglwys.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Trefeglwys
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Trefeglwys
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
