Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

Ynysowen questions
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Ynysowen included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
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.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ynysowen
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ynysowen as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Ynysowen
- Acrylic baths

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Ynysowen, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

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