Bath re-enamelling for Kingswear homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Kingswear

The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can normally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Repair or replace in Kingswear?

There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow most of the day, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  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

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

FAQs for Kingswear

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Kingswear and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

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.

What affects the price in Kingswear

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingswear

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we’re called out for in Kingswear

Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Before you book anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
