Bath re-enamelling in Llanfairfechan without replacing anything
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Llanfairfechan and across Conwy.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
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.

When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Llanfairfechan

The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel

Llanfairfechan questions
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your LL33 postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you work in Llanfairfechan?
We do. We send a technician to Llanfairfechan for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What affects the price in Llanfairfechan
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Llanfairfechan. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
