FAQs for Garth Owen
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you come to Garth Owen?
We do. We send a technician to Garth Owen for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Garth Owen as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Garth Owen. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SY16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Common problems we fix in Garth Owen
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before you book
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
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 pay close attention there.
