About our bath re-enamelling in Gyllyngvase
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- A fixed quote before booking
- Everything repaired in place

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you come to Gyllyngvase?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gyllyngvase for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
If you’re in Gyllyngvase and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
