How we handle bath re-enamelling in Grimscott
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Grimscott. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
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.
What we are called out for in Grimscott
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Grimscott questions
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
The entire UK, including all of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you come to Grimscott?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Grimscott from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Grimscott

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
