Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Treknow
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the next day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Treknow
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A bath that is rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What else we do in Treknow
Repairing versus replacing in Treknow
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why Treknow clients choose us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Treknow. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
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.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
