Landlord and trade work in Carnon Downs
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

FAQs for Carnon Downs
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Carnon Downs?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace in Carnon Downs?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why us?
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- No extra charge for your area
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
