Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Pillaton
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
Across the UK, so Pillaton is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Pillaton?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Pillaton.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Common problems we fix in Pillaton
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pillaton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pillaton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repairing versus replacing in Pillaton
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Pillaton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
