About our bath re-enamelling in Tŷ-rhiw
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. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Tŷ-rhiw
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Tŷ-rhiw. Our prices are the same everywhere.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
