How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Bath re-enamelling in Pentre Poeth, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We’re often asked to fix several chips and rust patches and a coloured bath you want in white, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pentre Poeth and across Swansea.

Common problems we fix in Pentre Poeth

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pentre Poeth

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Pentre Poeth questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
