Trusted bath re-enamelling in Pentreffynnon

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Bath re-enamelling in Pentreffynnon without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We’re often asked to fix an outdated colour you’d like to change and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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

Pentreffynnon: your questions answered

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you cover the entire of Neath Port Talbot?

The entire UK, including all of Neath Port Talbot. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SA10 postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Pentreffynnon?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
