Bath re-enamelling in Ermington

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ermington

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and several chips and rust patches.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common problems we fix in Ermington

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

What affects the price in Ermington

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Ermington. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PL21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Most jobs done in one visit

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Devon.

Can you repair several things at once?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Basins & shower trays
