Bath re-enamelling in Penegoes, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re frequently asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What else we do in Penegoes
Common problems we fix in Penegoes
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.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- What prep work is covered
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
Repair or replace in Penegoes?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Penegoes. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Penegoes
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that’s rusted through

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
