Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Polzeath
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you work in Polzeath?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Polzeath. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Polzeath
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 entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Polzeath, and we will reply with a fixed price.
