Bath re-enamelling near Godolphin Cross

Godolphin Cross: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

The entire UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Godolphin Cross clients choose us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Take a look at our full price list and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Godolphin Cross

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
