About our bath re-enamelling in Addington
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Common questions in Addington
What areas do you cover?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Addington?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Addington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What else we do in Addington
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
When to call us in Addington
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Several chips and rust patches

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
