About our bath re-enamelling in Waun-Lwyd
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Waun-Lwyd and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we are called out for in Waun-Lwyd
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Repair or replace in Waun-Lwyd?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Everything repaired in place

What affects the price in Waun-Lwyd
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Waun-Lwyd
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Waun-Lwyd?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What happens after I send pictures?

What else we do in Waun-Lwyd
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Have chips seen to early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
