Bath re-enamelling in Perranporth, done in place

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Perranporth

How long will the bath be out of use?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Do you work in Perranporth?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Perranporth from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Perranporth. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will the bath be moved?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. 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 normally cheaper.

When to call us in Perranporth

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairing versus replacing in Perranporth

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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Perranporth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Perranporth customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
