DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
About our bath re-enamelling in Trefechan
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Trefechan?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Stains that won’t shift
- Several chips and rust patches
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Trefechan
What areas do you cover?
All of Ceredigion, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
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.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you cover Trefechan?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Trefechan. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Trefechan.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What else we do in Trefechan
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

- Straight answers about what a repair can do
Take a look at our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
