Look out for any of the following:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

How we handle bath re-enamelling in North Petherwin
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and stains that won’t shift, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

FAQs for North Petherwin
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in North Petherwin?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including North Petherwin and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in North Petherwin.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Landlords, agents and businesses in North Petherwin
Letting agents often send us photos 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.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Repair dripping taps early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What affects the price in North Petherwin
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
