How we handle bath re-enamelling in Felindre
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We’re often asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Felindre
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Stains that won’t shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white
What your quote should include

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Never use suction bath mats
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Powys and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Felindre as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Felindre
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
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.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
