Bath re-enamelling for Allaleigh homes

Repairing versus replacing in Allaleigh

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Bath re-enamelling in Allaleigh without replacing anything

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

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

How it works

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. The job generally runs to most of the day, including clearing up.

  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. 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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Allaleigh, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Allaleigh: your questions answered

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Are you accredited?

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

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Allaleigh

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Allaleigh

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Allaleigh as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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