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.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Ysgubor Newydd
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that won’t shift
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
