Bath re-enamelling in Waen, 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 coloured bath you want in white and several chips and rust patches, we can normally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What we are called out for in Waen
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that won’t shift

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place
- No extra charge for your area
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Waen questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Powys.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Waen?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are there extra charges for Waen?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 is not prepared the repair won’t 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
