About our bath re-enamelling in Tŷ-canol
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Tŷ-canol
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

When to call us in Tŷ-canol
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for these signs:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NP44 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
- Fix dripping taps quickly
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What else we do in Tŷ-canol
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
