How it works

- 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Penzance
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. We work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Penzance
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Penzance?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- One visit for most repairs
- No need to remove anything
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Penzance. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
