Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Pentrebach, Merthyr Tydfil
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Pentrebach, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Bath re-enamelling in Pentrebach, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and chips and rust in more than one place, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Pentrebach: your questions answered
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repair or replace in Pentrebach?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:

- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
If you manage property in Pentrebach, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When to call us in Pentrebach
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
