Trusted bath re-enamelling in Llanelly

Bath re-enamelling in Llanelly, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths

FAQs for Llanelly

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Llanelly and the rest of Monmouthshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Should you replace it?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Llanelly, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
