St Erth: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating 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.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. 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
- A fixed quote before you book
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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 often lifts.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in St Erth?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Before booking anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether they match the colour on site
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
