Bath re-enamelling at your home in Holmbush
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you’re dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- Stains that will not shift

- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take the best part of a day, including clearing up.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace in Holmbush?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
Common questions in Holmbush
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Holmbush and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
For landlords and businesses
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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
