Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Kilkhampton, Cornwall
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Kilkhampton and the surrounding area, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Bath re-enamelling in Kilkhampton, done in place
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and worn patches where water runs and sits, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Kilkhampton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re 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.
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.
Kilkhampton: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
Across the UK, and that includes Kilkhampton. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
