Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

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. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

About our bath re-enamelling in Mount Hawke

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Repair or replace in Mount Hawke?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a full day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Mount Hawke

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

What your bath is made of matters

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.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Mount Hawke?

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 roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
