How we handle bath re-enamelling in Pen-yr-heol
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and staining under the taps and around the waste.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Pen-yr-heol as everywhere else we work.

Pen-yr-heol: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pen-yr-heol. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One price list for the entire UK
- Everything repaired in place
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
