Bath Re-enamelling for Penelewey homes
Problem with your bath in Penelewey? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Penelewey
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in acrylic baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Penelewey
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Penelewey. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No extra charge for your area
- A year’s guarantee on all work

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

What we’re called out for in Penelewey
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

What we work on

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add 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.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Penelewey: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Penelewey and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Penelewey, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
