Bath re-enamelling near Trevia

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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.

Bath re-enamelling in Trevia, done in place

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We’re frequently asked to fix a coloured bath you want in white and lots of chips and rust spots, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Wear marks under the taps

Our hiring checklist

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Trevia questions

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you come to Trevia?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Trevia from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

When can you do it?

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

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

We cover the entire UK, including Trevia and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Normally, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send pictures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Avoid suction-cup mats

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
