Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and staining under the taps and around the waste, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Glyntawe and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Glyntawe
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SA9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath that is rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
