About our bath re-enamelling in Sarn Bach
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Sarn Bach. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When to call us in Sarn Bach
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LL53 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What affects the price in Sarn Bach
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Sarn Bach, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Common questions in Sarn Bach
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Gwynedd, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
