Bath re-enamelling at your home in Penydarren
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and lots of chips and rust spots, we can typically put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- 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 until the next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
FAQs for Penydarren
Do you cover the whole of Merthyr Tydfil?
Everywhere in the UK, Penydarren included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Penydarren.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Never use suction bath mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
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.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Penydarren. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
