How we handle bath re-enamelling in Trevowah
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We are frequently asked to fix stains that won’t shift and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Colour-matched on site
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One-year guarantee on every repair

What affects the price in Trevowah
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Trevowah: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Common problems we fix in Trevowah
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
