What affects the price in Tŷ'r-frân
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Bath re-enamelling in Tŷ'r-frân, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Tŷ'r-frân questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.

When to call us in Tŷ'r-frân
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that will not shift
Before booking anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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’ll get a fixed figure.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Carmarthenshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
