About our bath re-enamelling in Penygraig
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We are frequently asked to fix an old resurfacing that’s failing and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Penygraig
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Carmarthenshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take the best part of a day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Most clients in Penygraig get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
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
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SA14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Penygraig. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
