Bath re-enamelling in Fowey without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and thin, worn enamel in places.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Fowey. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Fowey
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What prep work is covered
- What aftercare is recommended
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Fowey
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Why repair rather than replace?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Fowey
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
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.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
