Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Penarth
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 day after. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are staining under the taps and around the waste and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Penarth
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Are there extra charges for Penarth?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.

When to call us in Penarth
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
