- Stains that will not shift
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Bath re-enamelling in Llangadog without replacing anything
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We are frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llangadog as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Llangadog, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Common problems we fix in Llangadog
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What affects the price in Llangadog
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Llangadog. The price comes down to:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Common questions in Llangadog
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
