Bath re-enamelling near St Tudy

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

About our bath re-enamelling in St Tudy

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We are frequently asked to fix wear marks under the taps and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you’re in St Tudy and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, including clearing up.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  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 generally ready the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: 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 price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, generally one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Do you need bath re-enamelling in St Tudy?

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Stains that won’t shift

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

St Tudy questions

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How long is the bath unusable?

Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be fumes?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
