Our work in Wig-fach
Wig-fach is about 2 miles east of Porthcawl, in Bridgend. Our technicians come to homes and businesses in Wig-fach and nearby villages, so there is no workshop to go to. Wig-fach is one of 91 places in Bridgend we cover.
All of CF36 and CF32 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. From Bridgend Road and Chestnut Drive or anywhere nearby, we can come to you.

Bath re-enamelling in Wig-fach, 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, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Wig-fach
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What else we do in Wig-fach
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wig-fach
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that is rusted through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When to call us in Wig-fach
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Stains that will not shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Wig-fach questions
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
