Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Legar, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you’re dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Legar and across Powys.

Legar: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What affects the price in Legar
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Legar, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Landlord and trade work in Legar
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Powys and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
