Bath re-enamelling at your home in Newlyn
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are staining under the taps and around the waste and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Newlyn. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
