About our bath re-enamelling in Turfdown
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a coloured bath you want in white and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

Repair or replace in Turfdown?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Turfdown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- Same prices wherever you are
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
