Bath re-enamelling in Penmorfa without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and chips and rust in more than one place, we can generally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

FAQs for Penmorfa
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Penmorfa.
Do you work in Penmorfa?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Penmorfa. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on

- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface 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 for the finish to last.
Repairing versus replacing in Penmorfa
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Common problems we fix in Penmorfa
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Stains that won’t shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
