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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Waun-deg
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We’re frequently asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Waun-deg and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths

Advice
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Waun-deg get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
