Bath Re-enamelling in Terras
Our technicians come to Terras for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Respect the curing time we give you
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Bath re-enamelling in Terras 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. Our technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people get in touch are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Terras?
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that is seen better days
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to care for the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Terras use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

Repairing versus replacing in Terras
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Common questions in Terras
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
