Bath re-enamelling for Pennant homes

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Pennant

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We’re frequently asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What affects the price in Pennant

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SY23 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Pennant

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pennant use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Pennant, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

FAQs for Pennant

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How long is the bath unusable?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Pennant?

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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