Bath re-enamelling at your home in Praa Sands
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. If you’re dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Why repair rather than replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No need to remove anything

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

- Pressed steel baths

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Questions from Praa Sands
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
Across the UK, and that includes Praa Sands. Prices don’t change with location.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
When to call us in Praa Sands
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
