DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Repair or replace in Gledrid?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Gledrid?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Questions from Gledrid
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Gledrid.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
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 areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Wrexham. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LL14 postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LL14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
