Bath re-enamelling in Mousehole, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can typically put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Mousehole as everywhere else we work.

- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Mousehole, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mousehole use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairing versus replacing in Mousehole
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Prices start from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Mousehole
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Mousehole included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
