Trusted bath re-enamelling in Newquay

Bath re-enamelling in Newquay, done in place

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about worn patches where water runs and sits and an outdated colour you’d like to change.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newquay

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

Should you replace it?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newquay. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Newquay, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

What we work on

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

When to call us in Newquay

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
