Bath re-enamelling for Trebullett homes

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Trebullett

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Trebullett

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When to call us in Trebullett

Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes most of the day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repairing versus replacing in Trebullett

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Trebullett: your questions answered

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Trebullett?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

Everywhere in the UK, Trebullett included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.

When can you do it?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
