Bath re-enamelling at your home in Trelowth
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and several chips and rust patches.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
What we’re called out for in Trelowth
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Look out for any of the following:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- What aftercare is recommended
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Never use suction bath mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
