Bath re-enamelling in St Teath

Bath re-enamelling in St Teath without replacing anything

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and stains that won’t shift.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, 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

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Holes rusted through the metal

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in St Teath

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Landlord and trade work in St Teath

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What affects the price in St Teath

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in St Teath, and we will reply with a fixed price.

St Teath: your questions answered

Do you cover St Teath?

We do. Technicians travel to St Teath from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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