How we handle bath re-enamelling in Fforestfach
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

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 will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Common questions in Fforestfach
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Fforestfach and the rest of Swansea. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
