How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Fforest. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- 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 you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Bath re-enamelling in Fforest, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SA4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What else we do in Fforest
Repairing versus replacing in Fforest

Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Questions from Fforest
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Swansea. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you come to Fforest?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Fforest and the rest of Swansea. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fforest use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
