How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Bath re-enamelling in Trewennack, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a coloured bath you want in white, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
FAQs for Trewennack
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What else we do in Trewennack
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For anyone letting property in or around Trewennack, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Repair dripping taps early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Repair or replace in Trewennack?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour-matched on site
- A fixed quote before booking

- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
