About our bath re-enamelling in Bondleigh

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX20 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Honest limits

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

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bondleigh?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Choosing a repair company

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

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.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Should you replace it?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Bondleigh

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from Bondleigh

What happens next?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
