What affects the price in St Mewan
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including St Mewan. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Bath re-enamelling in St Mewan without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with stains that won’t shift and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One price list for the whole UK
- We leave the room as we found it
- Fixed prices from your photos

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
When to call us in St Mewan
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Before booking anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How to care for the finish
- How your room will be protected
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths

Advice
Questions from St Mewan
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
What areas do you cover?

I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Store bottles off the bath
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
