How we handle bath re-enamelling in Perranuthnoe

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and chips and rust in more than one place, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Perranuthnoe

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. The room is left tidy.

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

Advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

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

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Perranuthnoe

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

Look out for these signs:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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