Bath re-enamelling in Mawnan Smith, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Mawnan Smith and across Cornwall.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
When to call us in Mawnan Smith
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Mawnan Smith
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Mawnan Smith, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens if you find more damage?

What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mawnan Smith as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
