Bath re-enamelling at your home in Launceston
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Launceston?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that won’t shift
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- When it can be used again
- Aftercare advice
Repairing versus replacing in Launceston
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour-matched on site
- We leave the room as we found it

Questions from Launceston
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
The entire UK, including all of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What else we do in Launceston
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Launceston. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow the best part of a day.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
