Bath re-enamelling in Barripper without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you’re dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can typically put it right, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Barripper
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Barripper. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace in Barripper?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why Barripper clients choose us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No need to remove anything
- We leave the room as we found it

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
