DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath re-enamelling in Kidwelly, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Never use suction bath mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Should you replace it?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Kidwelly
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you cover the whole of Carmarthenshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Kidwelly and the rest of Carmarthenshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you work in Kidwelly?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kidwelly for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kidwelly as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
