Bath re-enamelling in St Merryn, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and chips and rust in more than one place, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Respect the curing time we give you
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repairing versus replacing in St Merryn
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in St Merryn
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Wear marks under the taps
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
