Bath re-enamelling in Mawgan

Bath re-enamelling in Mawgan, done in place

We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a coloured bath you want in white, we can help.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Mawgan

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Mawgan

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

What we are called out for in Mawgan

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Roll-top and period baths

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Have chips seen to early

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
