About our bath re-enamelling in Penton Hook
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are often asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When to call us in Penton Hook
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your quote should include

- Whether they match the colour on site
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Penton Hook, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repairing versus replacing in Penton Hook
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
