About our bath re-enamelling in Devoran

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are a coating lifting around the plughole and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When to call us in Devoran

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Devoran as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

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

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

FAQs for Devoran

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

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

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

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

How long is the bath unusable?

Normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you work in Devoran?

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