Bath re-enamelling in Trenoweth, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TR21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Trenoweth
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
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.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Trenoweth. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- Any details about the material
