Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Common problems we fix in Llysworney
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Common questions in Llysworney
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
What areas do you cover?
All of the Vale of Glamorgan, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
