Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Dartmouth?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Bath re-enamelling in Dartmouth without replacing anything

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and worn patches where water runs and sits, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Materials we repair

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

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dartmouth use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in Dartmouth

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What we’re called out for in Dartmouth

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. We strip what’s failing and start again.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
