What affects the price in Ystradowen
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Bath re-enamelling in Ystradowen, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ystradowen
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Ystradowen is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Related advice
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
