Bath re-enamelling in Pentrebane without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and several chips and rust patches, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Common problems we fix in Pentrebane
Often the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What affects the price in Pentrebane
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Pentrebane. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Pentrebane
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Pentrebane
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Respect the curing time we give you
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
