How we handle bath re-enamelling in Llangybi
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Llangybi

Common reasons people in Llangybi contact us are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that will not shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
