Bath Re-enamelling in Cornwall

Bath re-enamelling across Cornwall: what to expect

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are thin, worn enamel in places and a coloured bath you want in white.

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Prices in Cornwall

Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Cornwall. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Around Truro

We visit homes around County Museum And Library (Royal Institution Of Cornwall), Penair School and St George the Martyr, among other places. Nearby too are Church of St Mary Clement (less than half a mile north-east), Bosvigo School (less than half a mile south-west), Victoria Gardens (less than half a mile north-west) and The Globe Public House (less than half a mile east). There’s a railway station in Truro itself: Truro station. A little further out are County Museum And Library (Royal Institution Of Cornwall) (within half a mile east) and Royal Cornwall Infirmary (0.5 miles south). Open spaces near Truro include Daubuz Moors.

  • Parks and local facilities nearby include Carrick (under half a mile east)

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Signs you need bath re-enamelling

Often the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A coloured bath you want in white

What affects the price in Cornwall

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

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.

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Questions from Cornwall

Do you come to Cornwall?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cornwall. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
