Bath re-enamelling in Black Pill without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Black Pill and across Swansea.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Black Pill?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How your room will be protected
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What else we do in Black Pill
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Questions from Black Pill
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Swansea. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Landlord and trade work in Black Pill
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
