Bath re-enamelling in Devonside

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Devonside

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and a coloured bath you want in white, we can generally put it right.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Repair or replace in Devonside?

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • A bath split right through the body

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Questions from Devonside

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Devonside?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Does re-enamelling smell?

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you work in Devonside?

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

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

What we’re called out for in Devonside

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
