Bath Re-enamelling in Devon

Our bath re-enamelling service in Devon

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Pricing in Devon

Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a price

If you’re in Devon and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Local landmarks in Exeter

Around Exeter, we work in homes near Mount Radford Inn, Exeter University Library and Isca and the streets around them. Nearby too are Newtown Primary School (within half a mile north-west), St Luke's University Chapel (within half a mile north), Sacred Heart Church (0.7 miles west) and Exeter Tutorial College (under half a mile south-west). The nearest railway station is St James' Park station, roughly 0.7 miles north-west of the centre. Further afield, we also cover the area around Princesshay (0.5 miles west) and Exeter City Football Club Museum (0.6 miles north). For a walk, there’s Bowling Green Marsh RSPB reserve.

  • Parks and local facilities nearby include Ludwell Valley Park (1.3 miles south-east)

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A metal bath with a through crack

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

How the damage happens

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What affects the price in Devon

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Devon

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Do you work in Devon?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will there be fumes?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Devon.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
