Tai'r-heol questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
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.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CF46 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Tai'r-heol
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
