Bath re-enamelling at your home in Pen-pedair-heol

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Common call-outs are for a coloured bath you want in white and worn patches where water runs and sits, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Repair dripping taps early

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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 the part we put right.

Pen-pedair-heol questions

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Read our pricing and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Pen-pedair-heol

  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
