Bath re-enamelling in Holmbush without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can generally put it right.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Holmbush?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Other services in Holmbush
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Common questions in Holmbush
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Holmbush?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Holmbush and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
