About our bath re-enamelling in Laity Moor

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Laity Moor questions

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Are there extra charges for Laity Moor?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Laity Moor?

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Before booking anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Laity Moor

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

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.

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 what we repair.

Repair or replace in Laity Moor?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
