Bath re-enamelling near Trenoweth

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Trenoweth

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and several chips and rust patches.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Trenoweth

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Trenoweth. What changes the price is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Trenoweth?

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Several chips and rust patches

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early

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

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Trenoweth questions

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Trenoweth?

Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TR10 postcode.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the bath be moved?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a full day. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  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 typically ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
