Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

About our bath re-enamelling in Lescrow

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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.

Lescrow: your questions answered

Will the new finish last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Lescrow?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL23 postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  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. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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.

What affects the price in Lescrow

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

For most jobs, pictures 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.

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 is easier on the people living there.

What we’re called out for in Lescrow

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Before you book anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
