Repairing versus replacing in Pen-tŵyn
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Pen-tŵyn
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We’re often asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and chips and rust in more than one place, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Pen-tŵyn and across Caerphilly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pen-tŵyn
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Caerphilly and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Pen-tŵyn: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Are there extra charges for Pen-tŵyn?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t 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.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
