For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Pillgwenlly, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Pillgwenlly
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Have chips seen to early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
