How we handle bath re-enamelling in Birchgrove
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include an old resurfacing that’s failing and worn patches where water runs and sits, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Birchgrove and across Swansea.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Common problems we fix in Birchgrove
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Common reasons people in Birchgrove contact us are:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An outdated colour you’d like to change

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Swansea and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SA7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
