Common problems we fix in Sain Dunwyd
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Bath re-enamelling in Sain Dunwyd without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Sain Dunwyd. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What your bath is made of matters
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 is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Advice
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
