About our bath re-enamelling in Pen-Rhiw-fawr
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Pen-Rhiw-fawr
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Repair or replace in Pen-Rhiw-fawr?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
