About our bath re-enamelling in Pentrecagal
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Pentrecagal
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Pentrecagal?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
