Bath re-enamelling in Treverbyn

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Bath re-enamelling in Treverbyn without replacing anything

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and worn patches where water runs and sits, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Treverbyn and across Cornwall.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Treverbyn

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Comparing quotes

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  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. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Treverbyn. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Treverbyn questions

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Treverbyn. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Treverbyn
