Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Bath re-enamelling in Font-y-gary, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you have a roll-top that’s seen better days and chips and rust in more than one place, we can normally put it right.
Older homes around Font-y-gary may have baths that have been in place for decades. A sound older bath is well worth repairing without disturbing the rest of the room.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Repair or replace in Font-y-gary?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. For a rural home like those around Font-y-gary, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while bath re-enamelling is one trip.
Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
