Bath re-enamelling at your home in Pen-dre
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. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Pen-dre. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- 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
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Pen-dre
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
