Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hallew
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and lots of chips and rust spots, we can help.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair

- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hallew
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Look out for any of the following:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Wear marks under the taps
Comparing quotes
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Hallew
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hallew. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
