Common questions in Trembraze
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths, ready the following day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Bath re-enamelling in Trembraze without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Trembraze. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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 price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most clients in Trembraze get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
When to call us in Trembraze
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
