Trusted bath re-enamelling in Trezaise

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Bath re-enamelling in Trezaise without replacing anything

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are several chips and rust patches and a coating lifting around the plughole.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Trezaise?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trezaise as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Trezaise questions

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Trezaise?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a full day.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
