Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Stonehouse, Cornwall
We travel to Stonehouse for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Several chips and rust patches
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Bath re-enamelling in Stonehouse without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s worn patches where water runs and sits and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can normally put it right, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

What affects the price in Stonehouse
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Stonehouse. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- A fixed quote before you book
See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PL1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Stonehouse: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
