Bath re-enamelling at your home in Polperro
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and thin, worn enamel in places.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Polperro questions
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Polperro and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Polperro?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Polperro, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a full day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
