Advice
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Mawnan
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Repairing versus replacing in Mawnan
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No extra charge for your area
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What else we do in Mawnan
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Common questions in Mawnan
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
For a price in Mawnan, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Mawnan
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
