Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tremethick Cross?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Comparing quotes

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Related advice

Tremethick Cross: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cornwall.

Do you work in Tremethick Cross?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Tremethick Cross. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Repair or replace in Tremethick Cross?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 won’t last.
