How we handle bath re-enamelling in Seaside
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 regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are staining under the taps and around the waste and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Seaside and across Carmarthenshire.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Seaside?
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Stains that won’t shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Seaside, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
