What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Llyswyrny?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repairing versus replacing in Llyswyrny
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Llyswyrny. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths

Questions from Llyswyrny
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across the Vale of Glamorgan.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of the Vale of Glamorgan. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
