Bath re-enamelling at your home in Pen-y-fai
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, across pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Most jobs done in one visit

How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price

Advice
Common questions in Pen-y-fai
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Pen-y-fai.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Pen-y-fai
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Common problems we fix in Pen-y-fai
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, 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. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
