Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Bridge, Cornwall
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Bridge, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A coating lifting around the plughole
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bridge
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you have an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can generally put it right, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths alike.
Older homes around Bridge may have baths that have been in place for decades. A sound older bath is well worth repairing without disturbing the rest of the room.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Older homes around Bridge may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. A repair keeps the original.
Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
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 is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bridge
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Common reasons people in Bridge contact us include:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Rented homes near Redruth station (about 2.3 miles south-east) change hands often, and repairing baths between tenants is quicker than replacing them.
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How changes to the job are handled
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day. Somewhere as small as Bridge, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once we are there, the bath re-enamelling works exactly as anywhere else.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic

Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
