Bath re-enamelling in Manadon without replacing anything

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and a coloured bath you want in white, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Manadon: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

How long does re-enamelling take?

One day for most baths, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Manadon and the rest of Plymouth. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

What we are called out for in Manadon

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Manadon

For anyone letting property in or around Manadon, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Manadon?

Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
