Bath re-enamelling in Laddenvean without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Common call-outs are for stains that won’t shift and a coloured bath you want in white, across basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
FAQs for Laddenvean
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Laddenvean?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A bath that is rusted through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

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 much quicker too. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
