Bath Re-enamelling for Boscastle homes
Bath re-enamelling in Boscastle without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that is seen better days
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Boscastle
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

What we’re called out for in Boscastle
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Boscastle. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
