Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often 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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Barry
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Barry and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Barry
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we are called out for in Barry
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Barry
Do you work in Barry?
We do. We send a technician to Barry for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
