Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Common problems we fix in Machynlleth

The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Machynlleth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Machynlleth and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
