Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Radyr and Morganstown
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you’re dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can normally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
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 resurfacing gives them a new life.
FAQs for Radyr and Morganstown
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
What affects the price in Radyr and Morganstown
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Radyr and Morganstown

- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that will not shift
- Lots of chips and rust spots

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath typically 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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
