Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Advice
Llanarth: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
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 repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Do you cover the entire of Ceredigion?
Everywhere in the UK, Llanarth included. There is no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SA47 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
