Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Repair dripping taps early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Gallt-y-foel: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Gallt-y-foel?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
When to call us in Gallt-y-foel
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
