Bath re-enamelling in Llay, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

FAQs for Llay
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Llay as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Llay
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
