About our bath re-enamelling in Busveal
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and chips and rust in more than one place, we can typically put it right, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Common questions in Busveal
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
Common problems we fix in Busveal
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that won’t shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What prep work is covered
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
