What we’re called out for in Cwmgors
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Stains that will not shift
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common questions in Cwmgors
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do you cover the entire of Carmarthenshire?
All of Carmarthenshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Repair dripping taps early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Repairing versus replacing in Cwmgors
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
