Bath Re-enamelling for Trewoon homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in Trewoon, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Trewoon. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
About our bath re-enamelling in Trewoon
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and several chips and rust patches.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Trewoon
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths

Trewoon questions
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PL25 postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
