For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colwyn Bay use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
About our bath re-enamelling in Colwyn Bay
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, across Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Colwyn Bay and across Conwy.

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Have chips seen to early
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What affects the price in Colwyn Bay
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Colwyn Bay. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Questions from Colwyn Bay
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Conwy. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
