How we handle bath re-enamelling in Trewern
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Common problems we fix in Trewern
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Before you book anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

How do I book?

Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
