About our bath re-enamelling in Pentire
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When a repair isn’t the answer

- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 is the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Pentire
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Stains that will not shift
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Pentire. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Pentire
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
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.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Repairing versus replacing in Pentire
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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.
