Bath Re-enamelling in Wheal Rose
We travel to Wheal Rose for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wheal Rose
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Wheal Rose
Can you price it without visiting?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Wheal Rose.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Wheal Rose?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Are you a vetted contractor?

Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Wheal Rose
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A coloured bath you want in white
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Wheal Rose, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Repairs by material
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.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
