How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tresillian
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 pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and staining under the taps and around the waste.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Have chips seen to early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Tresillian: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Tresillian.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
