Bath re-enamelling in Widemouth Bay

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Widemouth Bay

Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

Common problems we fix in Widemouth Bay

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.

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

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to look after the finish

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Widemouth Bay: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Which areas do you work in?

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

Does the bath have to be removed?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Cast iron

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

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day. We leave the room clean.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
