Bath re-enamelling in Chyandour

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is 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 will reply with a fixed quote.

About our bath re-enamelling in Chyandour

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include a coloured bath you want in white and worn patches where water runs and sits, across cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Common questions in Chyandour

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What information do you need?

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?

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in Chyandour

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is generally much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Chyandour. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Chyandour customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
