How we handle bath re-enamelling in Killay
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic 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.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we are called out for in Killay
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that will not shift
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
FAQs for Killay
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you cover Killay?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Killay and the rest of Swansea. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Killay. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
