About our bath re-enamelling in Llanmadoc
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We’re often asked to fix a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and stains that won’t shift, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Llanmadoc: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Common problems we fix in Llanmadoc
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 typically cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
