Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
About our bath re-enamelling in Gweek
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and chips and rust in more than one place.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Gweek
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repair or replace: which is better?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Gweek questions
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Gweek?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Gweek and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What else we do in Gweek
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gweek
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gweek use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
