Bath re-enamelling at your home in Penparc
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the following day. We are often asked to fix several chips and rust patches and wear marks under the taps, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Ceredigion and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Penparc
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What affects the price in Penparc
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Penparc get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What else we do in Penparc
Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Penparc. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Penparc questions
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
