How we handle bath re-enamelling in Polyphant

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Polyphant and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Wear marks under the taps

What your quote should include

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Common questions in Polyphant

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Polyphant?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work in Polyphant?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Polyphant and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and 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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PL15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

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.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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