Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Foxhole, Cornwall
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing for homes and businesses in Foxhole and across Cornwall. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coloured bath you want in white
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have chips seen to early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
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 rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Foxhole
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can normally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Foxhole: your questions answered
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When to call us in Foxhole
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What affects the price in Foxhole
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Foxhole
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
