Bath re-enamelling near Trebetherick

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

About our bath re-enamelling in Trebetherick

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for a coating lifting around the plughole and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, across pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Trebetherick and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Trebetherick?

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.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Store bottles off the bath

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

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

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

What affects the price in Trebetherick

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Trebetherick

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trebetherick

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
