Bath Re-enamelling for Pwll-mawr homes
Problem with your bath in Pwll-mawr? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Repair dripping taps early
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Bath re-enamelling in Pwll-mawr, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Pwll-mawr as everywhere else we work.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

FAQs for Pwll-mawr
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Pwll-mawr
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you’re in Pwll-mawr and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
