Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tremar
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and staining under the taps and around the waste.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Tremar: your questions answered
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Tremar?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Are there extra charges for Tremar?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
The entire UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 the part we put right.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Tremar. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Tremar, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When to call us in Tremar
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tremar use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Store bottles off the bath
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
