For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Neath Port Talbot and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Pontardawe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Repair or replace in Pontardawe?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Work done at your home or business
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One visit for most repairs

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Pontardawe questions
Is it worth repairing rather 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 the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
