How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lower Penarth
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We are frequently asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
In and around Lower Penarth, homes are a mix of older cottages and newer houses. Older ones may still have cast iron or steel baths, which are well worth keeping, and newer ones generally have acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Lower Penarth?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coating lifting around the plughole
For older houses around Lower Penarth, near landmarks such as All Saints Church, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and bath re-enamelling gives it years more use.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Lower Penarth questions
Can you fix baths in a rental near Penarth station?
Yes. Send pictures and the address, and we’ll quote.
Can you restore the original baths in an older house in Lower Penarth?
In most cases: original pieces are frequently better made and harder to replace. Send pictures and we’ll advise.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
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 repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
