About our bath re-enamelling in Glan-llyn
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Questions from Glan-llyn
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
What affects the price in Glan-llyn
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
