Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Pentre

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We are often asked to fix stains that won’t shift and thin, worn enamel in places, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we are called out for in Pentre

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

How it works

We turn 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. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Pentre: your questions answered

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Landlord and trade work in Pentre

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

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, a professional repair is worth it.
