Bath re-enamelling in Perran Downs

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Perran Downs

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Questions from Perran Downs

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Perran Downs?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Related advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Perran Downs. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Perran Downs

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we are called out for in Perran Downs

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Before you book anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
