Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Hendra, Cornwall
Local bath re-enamelling for Hendra: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Bath re-enamelling in Hendra, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Prices start from £350. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hendra?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

Landlord and trade work in Hendra
If you manage property in Hendra, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
FAQs for Hendra
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Are there extra charges for Hendra?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work in Hendra?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hendra and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
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.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
