Bath re-enamelling in St Martin

Bath re-enamelling in St Martin, done in place

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Whether it’s a coloured bath you want in white and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can typically put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in St Martin

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why St Martin customers choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Questions from St Martin

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

Everywhere in the UK, St Martin included. Travel is included in the price.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Does re-enamelling smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we are called out for in St Martin

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to St Martin. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in St Martin, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
