Bath re-enamelling at your home in Penllwyn
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Penllwyn as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Caerphilly and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Common questions in Penllwyn
Do you come to Penllwyn?
We do. Technicians travel to Penllwyn from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Penllwyn?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NP12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
