What we’re called out for in Mount Pleasant
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stains that will not shift
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Bath re-enamelling in Mount Pleasant, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Mount Pleasant. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Roll-top and period baths

Mount Pleasant questions
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you work in Mount Pleasant?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Mount Pleasant. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Mount Pleasant included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair dripping taps early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
