Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
About our bath re-enamelling in Penisa'r Waun
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
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
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Have chips seen to early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Common problems we fix in Penisa'r Waun
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Penisa'r Waun questions
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work in Penisa'r Waun?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Penisa'r Waun from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Should you replace it?
