Bath re-enamelling in Carlidnack, done in place
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. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Carlidnack
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Carlidnack is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cornwall.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Carlidnack?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that will not shift
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
