About our bath re-enamelling in Llywel
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

FAQs for Llywel
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
When to call us in Llywel
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- 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 next day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
