Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Bath re-enamelling in Kehelland without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and several chips and rust patches, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Repairing versus replacing in Kehelland

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Kehelland. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

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

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes the best part of a day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Kehelland: your questions answered

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you come to Kehelland?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Kehelland from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Landlord and trade work in Kehelland

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Kehelland. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
