How we handle bath re-enamelling in Coombe
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we’re called out for in Coombe
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.
Common reasons people in Coombe contact us include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow the best part of a day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Never use suction bath mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Coombe: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Are there extra charges for Coombe?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlord and trade work in Coombe

What affects the price in Coombe
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
