- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

About our bath re-enamelling in Tregurrian
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and staining under the taps and around the waste, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Tregurrian
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Tregurrian: your questions answered
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tregurrian use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- 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 typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Tregurrian
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tregurrian. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Everything repaired in place
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
