Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Gorslas
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover the entire of Carmarthenshire?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Bath re-enamelling in Gorslas, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Landlord and trade work in Gorslas
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gorslas use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Can I fix it myself?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Gorslas?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Before booking anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
