What we’re called out for in Gwennap
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole

Bath re-enamelling in Gwennap without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. If you are dealing with chips and rust in more than one place and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gwennap as everywhere else we work.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Gwennap. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common questions in Gwennap
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens next?

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Gwennap?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR16 postcode.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gwennap
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Gwennap clients choose us
- One price list for the entire UK
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
