About our bath re-enamelling in Pen-y-bryn
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What your bath is made of matters
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. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.

How long does re-enamelling take?
