DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Penybontfawr
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for an outdated colour you’d like to change and staining under the taps and around the waste, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Questions from Penybontfawr
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Penybontfawr
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Wear marks under the taps
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the day
- What prep work is covered
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What else we do in Penybontfawr
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

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

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
