Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Bath re-enamelling in Upper Killay, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Upper Killay and across Swansea.

Choosing a repair company

Upper Killay: your questions answered

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in Upper Killay

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Upper Killay. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Swansea and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
