Bath re-enamelling in Carluddon, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Have chips seen to early
- Never use suction bath mats
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
When to call us in Carluddon
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job

- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Carluddon
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on

Prices and what affects them

- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PL26 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
