Bath re-enamelling at your home in Llansteffan
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We’re frequently asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a coating lifting around the plughole, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Llansteffan and across Carmarthenshire.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SA33 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Llansteffan
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Llansteffan
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you work in Llansteffan?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Llansteffan from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Llansteffan?
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.
