What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Carmarthenshire

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We are often asked to fix wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Carmarthenshire

Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Carmarthenshire, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

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’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

FAQs for Carmarthenshire

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
