About our bath re-enamelling in Gwinear Downs
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and a coating lifting around the plughole.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Gwinear Downs questions
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace in Gwinear Downs?
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. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we are called out for in Gwinear Downs
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Stains that won’t shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
