Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Bude, Cornwall
Bath re-enamelling in and around Bude: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Bath re-enamelling in Bude, done in place
We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can normally put it right, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Repairing versus replacing in Bude
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Common reasons people in Bude contact us are:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Common questions in Bude
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Bude?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX23 postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a full day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
