Bath re-enamelling in Perranwell without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step
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 the best part of a 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.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repairing versus replacing in Perranwell
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Everything repaired in place

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common questions in Perranwell
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
