Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tredavoe
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Landlord and trade work in Tredavoe
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When to call us in Tredavoe
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Look out for any of the following:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Wear marks under the taps

- Aftercare advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, 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.
FAQs for Tredavoe
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We give you timings with the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing generally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise 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.
