Our hiring checklist

Bath re-enamelling in Pentyrch without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

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

Landlord and trade work in Pentyrch

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Pentyrch questions

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Pentyrch included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you cover Pentyrch?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Pentyrch. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Take a look at our full price list and bath cost comparison.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

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 usually takes a full day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
