- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.

About our bath re-enamelling in Pen-sarn
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. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about an outdated colour you’d like to change and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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.

What a repair cannot fix

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we are called out for in Pen-sarn
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Wear marks under the taps

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Pen-sarn. The price comes down to:

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Pen-sarn: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you work in Pen-sarn?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Pen-sarn. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
