Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Sithney Common, Cornwall
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Sithney Common, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling in Sithney Common, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We are frequently asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Questions from Sithney Common
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cornwall.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access

Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

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 resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
When to call us in Sithney Common
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Several chips and rust patches
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
