Bath re-enamelling near Pendoggett

Bath re-enamelling in Pendoggett without replacing anything

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you’re dealing with a roll-top that’s seen better days and lots of chips and rust spots, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths alike.

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

Common questions in Pendoggett

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes most of the day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Before we arrive

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pendoggett

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Pendoggett?

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
