About our bath re-enamelling in Tideford
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are an outdated colour you’d like to change and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can

Advice
What we are called out for in Tideford
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
Look out for these signs:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Comparing quotes

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- A year’s guarantee on all work

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
Questions from Tideford
Are there extra charges for Tideford?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
How long does re-enamelling last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
