Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Pontygwaith questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pontygwaith. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area
