Bath re-enamelling at your home in Port Isaac
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and several chips and rust patches.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

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. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

More services for Port Isaac
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Port Isaac
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Common problems we fix in Port Isaac
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
Before booking anyone

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A bath split right through the body
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Port Isaac

Repair or replace: which is better?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Normally one visit, start to finish

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PL29 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
