We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Goon Gumpas, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Questions from Goon Gumpas
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Goon Gumpas and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you quote from photos?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Have chips seen to early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repairing versus replacing in Goon Gumpas
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
