What we are called out for in Bryn-y-waen
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bryn-y-waen
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We are frequently asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and stains that won’t shift, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bryn-y-waen and across Gwynedd.

For landlords and businesses
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.
If you manage property in Bryn-y-waen, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
