DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure 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.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tintagel
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We’re frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What your bath is made of matters
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, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Never use suction bath mats
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Tintagel: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Do you come to Tintagel?
We do. We send a technician to Tintagel for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Tintagel?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Tintagel
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- An old resurfacing that is failing
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How soon you can use it again
- How to look after the finish
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
