Bath Re-enamelling for Tregrehan Mills homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tregrehan Mills
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Should you replace it?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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.

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Tregrehan Mills. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Tregrehan Mills
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
