About our bath re-enamelling in Pontrobert
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and lots of chips and rust spots, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pontrobert and across Powys.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Common problems we fix in Pontrobert
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
