Bath re-enamelling at your home in Llangowryd
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and a coating lifting around the plughole, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Llangowryd
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Llangowryd
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SY16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that is rusted through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

When to call us in Llangowryd
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Clients typically contact us about:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
