Bath re-enamelling at your home in Helston
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath in a colour that no longer suits and wear marks under the taps.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a full day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What else we do in Helston
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairing versus replacing in Helston
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Helston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Helston
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you come to Helston?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Helston for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Helston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Common problems we fix in Helston
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
