Bath re-enamelling in New Mills without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and stains that won’t shift, we can help, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
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 over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions in New Mills
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
Everywhere in the UK, New Mills included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in New Mills?
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Look out for these signs:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Several chips and rust patches
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
