Bath re-enamelling near St Just in Roseland

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How we handle bath re-enamelling in St Just in Roseland

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and people most often call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in St Just in Roseland

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Just in Roseland use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

St Just in Roseland: your questions answered

Will the bath be moved?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in St Just in Roseland?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TR2 postcode.

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.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in St Just in Roseland

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for St Just in Roseland. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
