What we’re called out for in Pen-y-cae
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who turns up on the day
Bath re-enamelling in Pen-y-cae without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through

What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Common questions in Pen-y-cae
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Pen-y-cae.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
