About our bath re-enamelling in Pentrepiod

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a full day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Pentrepiod. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NP4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Pentrepiod

If you manage property in Pentrepiod, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Torfaen and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Common questions in Pentrepiod

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Torfaen, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Store bottles off the bath

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
