How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hornick
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hornick use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Common questions in Hornick
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Hornick and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Hornick
There are times replacing is better: 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
