Bath re-enamelling at your home in Troedyrhiw

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Troedyrhiw, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Troedyrhiw questions

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Troedyrhiw

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Common reasons people in Troedyrhiw contact us include:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Questions to ask before you book

  • How your room will be protected
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Repair dripping taps early

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
