About our bath re-enamelling in Marshgate
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Marshgate
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Marshgate
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
