Landlords, agents and businesses in Gunwalloe
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gunwalloe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Bath re-enamelling in Gunwalloe without replacing anything
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. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Gunwalloe questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

We do. We send a technician to Gunwalloe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
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 it’s guaranteed for a year.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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 is what we repair.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Gunwalloe
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps
- Stains that will not shift
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
