Bath re-enamelling in Charlestown, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about several chips and rust patches and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

What affects the price in Charlestown
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Charlestown. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Never use suction bath mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Repair or replace in Charlestown?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Charlestown
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
