Bath re-enamelling at your home in Carnyorth
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Common problems we fix in Carnyorth
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Look out for these signs:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Several chips and rust patches
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Repairs by material
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. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Carnyorth, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from Carnyorth
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you come to Carnyorth?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Carnyorth and the rest of Cornwall. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
