Bath re-enamelling in Waunfawr, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and thin, worn enamel in places.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Waunfawr. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Waunfawr and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What else we do in Waunfawr
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Which areas do you work in?

Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
