Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Coombe, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and chips and rust in more than one place, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Coombe
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Generally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Coombe and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
