What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Pentre-bâch. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Bath re-enamelling in Pentre-bâch, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
FAQs for Pentre-bâch
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Pentre-bâch?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
