Bath re-enamelling in Charlestown, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can typically put it right, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Charlestown. What changes the price is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Store bottles off the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
When to call us in Charlestown
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Charlestown
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Charlestown. Prices do not change with location.
