How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Upper Abercanaid. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, 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.
Why Upper Abercanaid customers choose us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Fixed prices from your photos
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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.

What we’re called out for in Upper Abercanaid
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Comparing quotes
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is matched
- How to care for the finish
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
