Bath re-enamelling at your home in St Stephen
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and wear marks under the taps, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in St Stephen and across Cornwall.

Common questions in St Stephen
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in 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.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Landlord and trade work in St Stephen
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in St Stephen get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should you replace it?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
