How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gilbert's Coombe
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gilbert's Coombe and across Cornwall.

FAQs for Gilbert's Coombe
Can you repair several things at once?

What we are called out for in Gilbert's Coombe
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Common reasons people in Gilbert's Coombe contact us include:
- Stains that will not shift
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair

- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take most of the day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Gilbert's Coombe. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace in Gilbert's Coombe?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
