About our bath re-enamelling in Penfilia
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We’re often asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, tidy-up included.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Penfilia. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Penfilia
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays

Repairing versus replacing in Penfilia
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colour-matched on site

Common questions in Penfilia
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Penfilia?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Common problems we fix in Penfilia
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
