Bath re-enamelling at your home in Pentre-llyn
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and a roll-top that’s seen better days, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When we’d advise against a repair

- A metal bath with a through crack
- A bath that is rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Materials we work on in Pentre-llyn
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

When to call us in Pentre-llyn
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that is seen better days
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
FAQs for Pentre-llyn
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Pentre-llyn?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
