Bath re-enamelling at your home in Five Roads
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and wear marks under the taps.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Five Roads and across Carmarthenshire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Related advice
Common questions in Five Roads
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you cover the whole of Carmarthenshire?
The entire UK, including all of Carmarthenshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
