Bath re-enamelling in St Day, done in place
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are staining under the taps and around the waste and a coating lifting around the plughole.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in St Day as everywhere else we work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in St Day
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cornwall.

- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in St Day
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
