Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Bath re-enamelling in Rhydowen without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and wear marks under the taps.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Rhydowen
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Rhydowen included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rhydowen. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What else we do in Rhydowen
Landlord and trade work in Rhydowen
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Rhydowen

Our work in Rhydowen
Rhydowen is about 16 miles north of Carmarthen, in Ceredigion. Customers in Rhydowen get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed quote from pictures, then a visit to do the work. We work in 125 places across Ceredigion.

What affects the price in Rhydowen
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole bath
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Have chips seen to early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
