Bath re-enamelling near Carn Towan

About our bath re-enamelling in Carn Towan

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It normally takes one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you’re dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and several chips and rust patches, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in Carn Towan

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carn Towan as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common questions in Carn Towan

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Carn Towan?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Do you come to Carn Towan?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Carn Towan for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

When to call us in Carn Towan

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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 will come back with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Victorian roll-tops
