Bath re-enamelling at your home in Trethewey
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. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and wear marks under the taps, across acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What we are called out for in Trethewey
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Look out for any of the following:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
