- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Llandrindod Wells
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and lots of chips and rust spots.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Llandrindod Wells
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you come to Llandrindod Wells?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Llandrindod Wells from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit

- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What else we do in Llandrindod Wells
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
