Bath Re-enamelling for Penpont homes
Damaged bath in Penpont? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Penpont
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and lots of chips and rust spots.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow most of the day.
- 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.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What affects the price in Penpont
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Penpont. The price comes down to:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DG3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Questions from Penpont
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DG3 postcode.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
