Bath re-enamelling in Pen-y-Dre, done in place
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Pen-y-Dre
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you work in Pen-y-Dre?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Pen-y-Dre for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for Pen-y-Dre?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.

- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Pen-y-Dre
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is typically perfectly sound.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Before you book anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
