What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Ffairfach

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

FAQs for Ffairfach

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you need to take the bath out?

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

What affects the price in Ffairfach

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Ffairfach. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Ffairfach, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
