The process

- 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.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Saltash
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are stains that won’t shift and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Saltash
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What affects the price in Saltash
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Saltash
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
