Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Pentre, Flintshire
We travel to Pentre for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coloured bath you want in white
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Bath re-enamelling in Pentre without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits, across Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Pentre questions
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Pentre?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CH5 postcode.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Repair or replace in Pentre?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Pentre
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Common reasons people in Pentre contact us include:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Before booking anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
