Bath re-enamelling at your home in Helford Passage
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We are frequently asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What else we do in Helford Passage
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Helford Passage. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One visit for most repairs

Common questions in Helford Passage
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Common problems we fix in Helford Passage
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Stains that will not shift

What happens on the day
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 most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Helford Passage. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
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.
