Advice
About our bath re-enamelling in Carbis Bay
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repair or replace in Carbis Bay?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Carbis Bay
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Wear marks under the taps
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
- How the room is protected while they work
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
