Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Sandy, Carmarthenshire
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Sandy, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Sandy
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Carmarthenshire.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
If you are in Sandy and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day, including clearing up.
- 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 until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Sandy, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Questions from Sandy
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Sandy and the rest of Carmarthenshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
