Landlord and trade work in Trelewis
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Trelewis
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and thin, worn enamel in places, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

When to call us in Trelewis
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Repair or replace in Trelewis?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Trelewis. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
