What affects the price in Llanpumsaint
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire bath
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Bath re-enamelling in Llanpumsaint without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and stains that won’t shift.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Llanpumsaint
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Llanpumsaint
If you manage property in Llanpumsaint, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Llanpumsaint
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
