Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Swansea and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Cwmrhydyceirw: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What we’re called out for in Cwmrhydyceirw

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Stains that will not shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
