Bath re-enamelling at your home in St Keyne

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can generally put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in St Keyne and across Cornwall.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

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.

Questions from St Keyne

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you work in St Keyne?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to St Keyne. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What we are called out for in St Keyne

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  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 until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
