Bath re-enamelling at your home in Llyswen
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Questions from Llyswen
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
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.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
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.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
When to call us in Llyswen
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Before booking anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Llyswen
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LD3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
