Bath re-enamelling in Poughill without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. 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 thin, worn enamel in places.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Poughill: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you work in Poughill?
We do. We send a technician to Poughill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
Across the UK, so Poughill is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Poughill. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Poughill, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Repair or replace in Poughill?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Poughill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Poughill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- 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 before you book.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
