Common questions in Y Sgwâr
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Bath re-enamelling in Y Sgwâr without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re often asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When to call us in Y Sgwâr
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that will not shift
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Y Sgwâr. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Y Sgwâr
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Y Sgwâr use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
