What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Gorran Haven
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gorran Haven
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gorran Haven as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Gorran Haven: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
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.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Gorran Haven, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
When to call us in Gorran Haven
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that will not shift
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Before booking anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
