Common questions in Mawgan Porth
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Mawgan Porth.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Mawgan Porth
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. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Mawgan Porth
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Stains that won’t shift
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mawgan Porth as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
