Questions from Rhyd-y-foel
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you cover the entire of Conwy?
The whole UK, including all of Conwy. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Should I try a DIY kit 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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LL22 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
