Questions from Blaengwrach
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Blaengwrach
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Blaengwrach?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Stains that will not shift
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- How to look after the finish
- Who will actually do the work
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Advice
Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

See our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
