Bath re-enamelling in Penrhiwfer, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Penrhiwfer
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Penrhiwfer: your questions answered
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What we are called out for in Penrhiwfer
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Rhondda Cynon Taff and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Penrhiwfer, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- 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
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
