How we handle bath re-enamelling in Illogan
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about thin, worn enamel in places and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
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 much quicker too. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What else we do in Illogan
FAQs for Illogan
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cornwall.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repairs by material
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Illogan, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Illogan, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
