Your questions about bath re-enamelling in St Columb Minor
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in St Columb Minor
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and chips and rust in more than one place.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

- A roll-top that’s seen better days

- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Chips and rust in more than one place

Materials we repair

- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
