Trusted bath re-enamelling in Morchard Road

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Morchard Road

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. We are frequently asked to fix enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Morchard Road and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.

Common questions in Morchard Road

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What do you need from me?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

The entire UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Morchard Road?

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • Chips and rust in more than one place

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • A bath that is rusted through

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most clients in Morchard Road get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Morchard Road use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

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