About our bath re-enamelling in Bodieve
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Bodieve and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlord and trade work in Bodieve
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
When to call us in Bodieve
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Clients usually contact us about:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Advice
FAQs for Bodieve
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Repair or replace in Bodieve?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
