St Blazey Gate questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Are there extra charges for St Blazey Gate?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How long is the bath unusable?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
About our bath re-enamelling in St Blazey Gate

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Repairing versus replacing in St Blazey Gate
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good.

- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.

- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Before we arrive
