About our bath re-enamelling in Quarr-Clydach
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Swansea.

Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Quarr-Clydach. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Quarr-Clydach
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
When to call us in Quarr-Clydach
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Chips and rust in more than one place

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most customers in Quarr-Clydach get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take the best part of a day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
