What we are called out for in Bissoe

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Before booking anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bissoe

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are frequently asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and worn patches where water runs and sits, on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bissoe and across Cornwall.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bissoe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Bissoe, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Bissoe

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you cover Bissoe?

We do. We send a technician to Bissoe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will the new finish last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
