Bath Re-enamelling for St Columb Major homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing at your home in St Columb Major, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Wear marks under the taps
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for St Columb Major. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Bath re-enamelling in St Columb Major, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in St Columb Major and across Cornwall.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

St Columb Major: your questions answered
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What we are called out for in St Columb Major
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Columb Major
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in St Columb Major
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Respect the curing time we give you
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
