Bath re-enamelling in Eggesford

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Eggesford

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a coloured bath you want in white, we can generally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

What affects the price in Eggesford

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX18 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Related advice

Eggesford: your questions answered

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Does re-enamelling smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Do you cover Eggesford?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Eggesford. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Common problems we fix in Eggesford

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

What to look for in a quote

  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
