Bath re-enamelling in Y Tymbl, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can generally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Y Tymbl and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
What we’re called out for in Y Tymbl
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
Look out for any of the following:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again

Questions from Y Tymbl
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you cover Y Tymbl?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Y Tymbl and the rest of Carmarthenshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Repairing versus replacing in Y Tymbl
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
