Bath re-enamelling at your home in Trehafren
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Trehafren and across Powys.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Most jobs done in one visit

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves 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 the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
If you’re in Trehafren and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Trehafren questions
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What areas do you cover?
All of Powys, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
