Bath re-enamelling in Bratton Fleming, done in place

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an old resurfacing that’s failing, across cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

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

Materials we work on in Bratton Fleming

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

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes the best part of a day for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bratton Fleming

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

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.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bratton Fleming

What information do you need?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you quote from photos?

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

What areas do you cover?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Repairing versus replacing in Bratton Fleming

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

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. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire bath

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
