Bath re-enamelling in Hendreforgan, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and wear marks under the taps.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, 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. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we are called out for in Hendreforgan
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What preparation is included

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Common questions in Hendreforgan
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why book with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- A fixed quote before booking
Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hendreforgan
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
