About our bath re-enamelling in Waunfawr
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and wear marks under the taps, we can typically put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gwynedd.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Repair or replace in Waunfawr?
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 are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price bath re-enamelling
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 type of damage
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Waunfawr: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Landlord and trade work in Waunfawr
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
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.
