How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Capel Seion
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Carmarthenshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
