Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Trelissick
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and staining under the taps and around the waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Trelissick
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
