What we are called out for in Telegraph
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off

About our bath re-enamelling in Telegraph
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and lots of chips and rust spots.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Telegraph
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.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of the Isles of Scilly. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Other services in Telegraph
Landlord and trade work in Telegraph
If you manage property in Telegraph, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
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.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Covering Telegraph
Telegraph is about 36 miles west of Penzance, in the Isles of Scilly. We visit homes and businesses in Telegraph and nearby villages, so you don’t need to take anything anywhere. Telegraph is one of 13 towns and villages in the Isles of Scilly where we work.
Our visits in TR21 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. We regularly work on streets such as Town Lane, Decca Lane and Pungies Lane. Neighbouring places we cover include Trenoweth (1 mile north-east), Porthloo (1 mile south-west), Maypole (1 mile east), Pelistry (1 mile east) and Holy Vale (1 mile south-east). Some remote addresses need extra planning, so it’s best to call first.
Around Telegraph
Typical jobs here are in homes near St Mary's Church and the streets around them. Other landmarks nearby include Longstone Heritage Centre (0.6 miles south) and St Mary's Hospital (1.1 miles south). For a walk, there is Mount Todden and Abbey Pool.
What affects the price in Telegraph
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
