Bath re-enamelling for Tregavarras homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Tregavarras

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What affects the price in Tregavarras

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

Questions from Tregavarras

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are there extra charges for Tregavarras?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Tregavarras

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything

See our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
