Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

For a price in Sennen, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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 are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

What we are called out for in Sennen

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Comparing quotes

  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again

Sennen: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you work in Sennen?

We do. We send a technician to Sennen for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long is the bath unusable?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Sennen?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
