Bath re-enamelling for Garlandhayes homes

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Bath re-enamelling in Garlandhayes, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Typical jobs include a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and several chips and rust patches, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Garlandhayes and across Devon.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Garlandhayes?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Garlandhayes. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

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

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Garlandhayes

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Look out for these signs:

  • Stains that will not shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched

Can I add another job to the visit?

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
