Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Pen-dre

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Choosing a repair company

Bath re-enamelling in Pen-dre, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include staining under the taps and around the waste and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

FAQs for Pen-dre

Do you work in Pen-dre?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Pen-dre. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Do you cover the whole of Bridgend?

Everywhere in the UK, Pen-dre included. Travel is included in the price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why Pen-dre customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Store bottles off the bath

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pen-dre

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pen-dre use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
