About our bath re-enamelling in St Mabyn

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and normally a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

FAQs for St Mabyn

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you come to St Mabyn?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to St Mabyn for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Common problems we fix in St Mabyn

Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

Look out for these signs:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that will not shift

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Mabyn use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
