Bath Re-enamelling in Gunnislake
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Gunnislake, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Gunnislake
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gunnislake and across Cornwall.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- 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
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What affects the price in Gunnislake
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Gunnislake. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Gunnislake
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Look out for any of the following:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
