Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Bath re-enamelling in Higher Dimson, done in place
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Common questions in Higher Dimson
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cornwall.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Higher Dimson?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Respect the curing time we give you
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What affects the price in Higher Dimson
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, 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 normally the cheaper route.
When to call us in Higher Dimson
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
