Landlord and trade work in Winch Wen
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Winch Wen, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Winch Wen
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We are often asked to fix a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Winch Wen and across Swansea.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Have chips seen to early
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When to call us in Winch Wen
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An old resurfacing that is failing

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
FAQs for Winch Wen
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the new finish last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do you cover the whole of Swansea?
The entire UK, including all of Swansea. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Winch Wen. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
