  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Furnace

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths

  • Victorian roll-tops

Bath re-enamelling in Furnace, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can typically put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Furnace and across Carmarthenshire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Landlord and trade work in Furnace

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common problems we fix in Furnace

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Furnace. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SA16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
