How we handle bath re-enamelling in Pennance
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for a roll-top that’s seen better days and worn patches where water runs and sits, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pennance
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pennance as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 usually cheaper.
Common questions in Pennance
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
