Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Millbrook, Cornwall
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Millbrook and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350

- An old resurfacing that is failing
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- 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 day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Millbrook
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a coating lifting around the plughole and chips and rust in more than one place.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Common problems we fix in Millbrook
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Stains that won’t shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- When it can be used again
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Get any chip repaired quickly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
If you are in Millbrook and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlord and trade work in Millbrook
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Millbrook: your questions answered
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Millbrook?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL10 postcode.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
