Bath re-enamelling near Lamerton

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Lamerton

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can generally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lamerton and across Devon.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Lamerton

The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Stains that won’t shift
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What happens if they find more damage

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why Lamerton clients choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Read our full price list and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

When a repair is not the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • A bath that is rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

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

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lamerton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Common questions in Lamerton

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What affects the price in Lamerton

Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Lamerton. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lamerton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
