A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TR19 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Mayon: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
When to call us in Mayon
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
