How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Tal-sarn
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Ceredigion.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Tal-sarn is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: 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.

Landlord and trade work in Tal-sarn
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Ceredigion and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair

What affects the price in Tal-sarn
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
