Bath re-enamelling in Valley Truckle, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include a roll-top that’s seen better days and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Valley Truckle
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
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.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 usually cheaper.
FAQs for Valley Truckle
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
