Bath re-enamelling at your home in Carlyon Bay
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and lots of chips and rust spots.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Carlyon Bay: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Carlyon Bay.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Carlyon Bay, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What affects the price in Carlyon Bay
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Carlyon Bay. What changes the price is:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
