Do you need bath re-enamelling in Arddleen?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- How long it needs to cure

About our bath re-enamelling in Arddleen
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Powys.

Questions from Arddleen
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Arddleen.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Covering Arddleen
Arddleen (Welsh: Arddlin) is about 9 miles south of Oswestry, in Powys. Jobs in Arddleen are booked in like any other job: a fixed quote from your pictures, then a visit to do the work. We cover 234 places across Powys, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Arddleen to Liverpool (about 47 miles away).
Jobs in SY22 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. That includes homes on Cae Heulog, Bryn Teg and Chapel Field.

Landmarks near Arddleen
In Arddleen, that means homes near Arddleen C.P. School and The Horseshoe Inn, among other places. Well-known places in the area include Cae Gawr (1.1 miles north) and Victoria Memorial Hospital (5.2 miles south). The countryside around Arddleen includes Ty-Top.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, 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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What else we do in Arddleen
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath that is rusted through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
