About our bath re-enamelling in Pen-y-garn
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and wear marks under the taps.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
