Bath re-enamelling in Creegbrawse, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Repair or replace in Creegbrawse?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for Creegbrawse

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR4 postcode.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that is rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Cast iron baths
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Basins & shower trays

Common problems we fix in Creegbrawse

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What protection goes down before work starts
