Bath re-enamelling in Ynysforgan, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and several chips and rust patches, we can normally put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What bath re-enamelling costs
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 material and finish
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Swansea and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Respect the curing time we give you
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
