Bath re-enamelling in Summercourt, done in place

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn patches where water runs and sits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

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

Landlord and trade work in Summercourt

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Summercourt use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

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.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Summercourt

  • Stains that will not shift
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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 the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Summercourt. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Summercourt. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
