How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hendra
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and staining under the taps and around the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Hendra: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you cover Hendra?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hendra. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
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.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Landlord and trade work in Hendra
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 is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hendra. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Respect the curing time we give you
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
