Bath re-enamelling at your home in Pencoedtre
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Vale of Glamorgan.

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Questions from Pencoedtre
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Pencoedtre?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
