Bath re-enamelling in Trevithal

About our bath re-enamelling in Trevithal

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about staining under the taps and around the waste and lots of chips and rust spots.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we’re called out for in Trevithal

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

Common reasons people in Trevithal contact us are:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

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

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Trevithal

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Repairing versus replacing in Trevithal

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Trevithal: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

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 it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
