About our bath re-enamelling in Lympstone

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Lympstone

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Lympstone and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you work in Lympstone?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Lympstone. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

What affects the price in Lympstone

Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Lympstone

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When to call us in Lympstone

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the following day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Repair dripping taps early

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

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

Should you replace it?

If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, resurfacing is the simplest answer. Nothing else is disturbed. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Lympstone. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Lympstone clients choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
