Bath Re-enamelling for Penwithick homes
Bath re-enamelling across Penwithick and nearby, usually in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
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. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Normally one visit, start to finish

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Penwithick
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Penwithick?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

What affects the price in Penwithick
Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Penwithick. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- A bath split right through the body
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Penwithick
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow the best part of a day, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
