When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Steel that has corroded right through
Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Knave-Go-By

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can normally put it right, on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Knave-Go-By. What changes the price is:

Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Where the damage is and how we get to it
How many items we do on one visit
The material

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

What it’s made of, if you know
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A clear, close picture of the problem area
A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Knave-Go-By, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse off any bath products.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Knave-Go-By

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Knave-Go-By: your questions answered

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you come to Knave-Go-By?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Knave-Go-By from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Roll-top and period baths

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

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How to prepare

Let us know if it has been repaired before
Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
