Bath re-enamelling in Treburley

Bath re-enamelling in Treburley without replacing anything

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, so we do not cut corners on it. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a peeling or bubbling previous coating and thin, worn enamel in places.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Treburley and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

Materials we work on in Treburley

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

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Treburley clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit

FAQs for Treburley

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover Treburley?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Treburley and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What affects the price in Treburley

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Advice

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Give the finish its full curing time before using the 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. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
