Trusted bath re-enamelling in Kingsbridge

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Kingsbridge

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. We’re often asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

Questions from Kingsbridge

Do you come to Kingsbridge?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Kingsbridge. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Kingsbridge?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your TQ7 postcode.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can landlords book you?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Kingsbridge included. Travel is included in the price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

Work for landlords and builders

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

For anyone letting property in or around Kingsbridge, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kingsbridge?

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

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

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Stains that will not shift
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
