Trusted bath re-enamelling in Lynmouth

Bath re-enamelling in Lynmouth, done in place

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, 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 are paying for.

What affects the price in Lynmouth

Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Lynmouth and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Questions from Lynmouth

How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Lynmouth?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your EX35 postcode.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will there be fumes?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you do the outside of a roll-top?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What areas do you cover?

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

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 removes more of the surface.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lynmouth as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a full day, tidy-up included.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  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 on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Lots of chips and rust spots

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
