Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Penmarth
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Do you cover Penmarth?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Penmarth. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Penmarth
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Penmarth and across Cornwall.

Common problems we fix in Penmarth
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- How to care for the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Penmarth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
