How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Waen-pentir
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Waen-pentir as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. 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.

Questions from Waen-pentir
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
