Bath re-enamelling near Maidenhayne

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Maidenhayne

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Maidenhayne

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  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

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Questions from Maidenhayne

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

We cover the whole UK, including Maidenhayne and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Maidenhayne.

How long will the bath be out of use?

Usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Repairing versus replacing in Maidenhayne

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When to call us in Maidenhayne

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
