Bareppa questions
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bareppa
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
For a price in Bareppa, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What else we do in Bareppa
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bareppa as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
