What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Repair or replace in Tresavean?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Tresavean. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Advice
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common questions in Tresavean
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
Everywhere in the UK, Tresavean included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
