You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Never use suction bath mats

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Penmaen. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Penmaen get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common problems we fix in Penmaen

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Get a quote

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Common questions in Penmaen

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

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.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Penmaen is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
