About our bath re-enamelling in Maenporth
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
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 what we repair.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Maenporth
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Maenporth: your questions answered
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you cover Maenporth?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Maenporth and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- No need to remove anything

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
