Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Skewen, Neath Port Talbot
Problem with your bath in Skewen? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Skewen
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Skewen questions
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What we are called out for in Skewen
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
