Bath re-enamelling at your home in Clyst St Mary

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Repairing versus replacing in Clyst St Mary

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we’re called out for in Clyst St Mary

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Several chips and rust patches

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Materials we work on in Clyst St Mary

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

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
