Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
About our bath re-enamelling in Pentewan
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We are often asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

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. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- No extra charge for your area

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can tenants book a repair?

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
