Questions from Pwll-y-glaw
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you cover the entire of Neath Port Talbot?
The whole UK, including all of Neath Port Talbot. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Bath re-enamelling in Pwll-y-glaw, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We are frequently asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a coating lifting around the plughole, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pwll-y-glaw
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pwll-y-glaw use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pwll-y-glaw. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
