Questions from Efail Fach
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do you cover Efail Fach?
We do. We send a technician to Efail Fach for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Efail Fach
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Efail Fach get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Neath Port Talbot and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
