When to call us in Clovelly

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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.

Common questions in Clovelly

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Are there extra charges for Clovelly?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Does re-enamelling smell?

A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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 several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Clovelly, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. What it costs 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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
