Bath Re-enamelling in Tregorrick
Problem with your bath in Tregorrick? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Stains that will not shift
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Tregorrick
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

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.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tregorrick
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take most of the day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Tregorrick, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What we’re called out for in Tregorrick
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Common questions in Tregorrick
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
