When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths

About our bath re-enamelling in Hendrefoilan
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are thin, worn enamel in places and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Swansea and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
When to call us in Hendrefoilan

- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
