  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.

  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why Pencoed customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything

Read our prices page and bath cost comparison.

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Pencoed

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pencoed

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
