Bath re-enamelling in Trewint without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Have chips seen to early
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairs by material
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
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Trewint
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A roll-top that’s seen better days

How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Questions from Trewint
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Trewint.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Trewint
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Repair or replace in Trewint?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Trewint. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Trewint. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
