Bath re-enamelling for Chelynch homes

Common questions in Chelynch

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover Chelynch?

We do. We send a technician to Chelynch for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Bath re-enamelling in Chelynch without replacing anything

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and thin, worn enamel in places.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What affects the price in Chelynch

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Chelynch. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Chelynch, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
