About our bath re-enamelling in Ynystawe
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 several chips and rust patches and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

- How your room will be protected

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Ynystawe questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What areas do you cover?
All of Swansea, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Repair or replace in Ynystawe?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
