Common problems we fix in St Martin

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again

About our bath re-enamelling in St Martin

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What affects the price in St Martin

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

FAQs for St Martin

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR12 postcode.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repair or replace in St Martin?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Martin

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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