Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ynysybwl
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are lots of chips and rust spots and wear marks under the taps.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we can’t put right

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths

- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Questions from Ynysybwl
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ynysybwl
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Ynysybwl, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
