Bath re-enamelling in Penryn without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Typical jobs include brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Penryn and across Cornwall.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Penryn
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Penryn
Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before you book
- How soon you can use it again
- Aftercare advice
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched

Penryn questions
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
Everywhere in the UK, Penryn included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
