- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Advice
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Mount Pleasant
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It typically takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mount Pleasant as everywhere else we work.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Other services in Mount Pleasant
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Questions from Mount Pleasant
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Mount Pleasant from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
