Bath re-enamelling in Ty Coch, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you’re dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and thin, worn enamel in places, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Ty Coch and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- 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.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Before we arrive

Ty Coch questions
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What affects the price in Ty Coch
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What we’re called out for in Ty Coch
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
