What affects the price in Cadgwith

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Cadgwith. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Cadgwith. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Bath re-enamelling in Cadgwith, done in place

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common problems we fix in Cadgwith

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A coloured bath you want in white

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Cadgwith, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Cadgwith clients choose us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Cadgwith questions

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you cover Cadgwith?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cadgwith from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
