Bath re-enamelling in South Tehidy

Bath re-enamelling in South Tehidy without replacing anything

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

South Tehidy questions

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Have chips seen to early

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

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What we’re called out for in South Tehidy

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in South Tehidy

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
