How we handle bath re-enamelling in Pant-mawr
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Pant-mawr: your questions answered

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CF14 postcode.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What affects the price in Pant-mawr

- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
