Trusted bath re-enamelling in Menheniot

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Menheniot

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes most of the day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Respect the curing time we give you

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

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

Common questions in Menheniot

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Menheniot?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Menheniot

Landlord and trade work in Menheniot

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Menheniot

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
