Bath re-enamelling at your home in Threewaters
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is usually the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are thin, worn enamel in places and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Threewaters?
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.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Threewaters questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Threewaters. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Threewaters?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
