Trusted bath re-enamelling in Wendron

Bath re-enamelling in Wendron without replacing anything

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with thin, worn enamel in places and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Wendron and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Wendron

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

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you cover Wendron?

We do. Technicians travel to Wendron from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a full day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Should you replace it?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Take a look at our full price list and bath cost comparison.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Wendron. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TR13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Wendron

Previous coatings can fail too, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
