Bath re-enamelling for Kentisbeare homes

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kentisbeare. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Bath re-enamelling in Kentisbeare, done in place

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots.

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

Should you replace it?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Kentisbeare questions

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Are there extra charges for Kentisbeare?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Kentisbeare

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that will not shift
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Wear marks under the taps

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kentisbeare

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kentisbeare use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
