Bath re-enamelling in Treharris, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
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.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Treharris. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
