For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ammanford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ammanford

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and rust in more than one place and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ammanford as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

What we’re called out for in Ammanford

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A photo taken from further back

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
