Bath re-enamelling near Pen-sarn

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

About our bath re-enamelling in Pen-sarn

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We are frequently asked to fix a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Common problems we fix in Pen-sarn

Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Choosing a repair company

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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 until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Pen-sarn. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Pen-sarn questions

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

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

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Pen-sarn?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

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