Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Portscatho
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can help, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on

Repair or replace: which is better?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One visit for most repairs
See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice
Portscatho: your questions answered
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
