How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Penhelyg, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

About our bath re-enamelling in Penhelyg

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and lots of chips and rust spots.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Questions from Penhelyg

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LL35 postcode.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colour-matched on site

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Penhelyg

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Look out for any of the following:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
