Bath re-enamelling in Pentwynberth-lwyd, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you’re dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and lots of chips and rust spots, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Pentwynberth-lwyd
Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coating lifting around the plughole

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Repair or replace in Pentwynberth-lwyd?

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.
