About our bath re-enamelling in North Molton

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and chips and rust in more than one place.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Repair dripping taps early

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no 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.

When to call us in North Molton

Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in North Molton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Molton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A metal bath with a through crack

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

North Molton questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

Look after it and it lasts. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How soon can you come?

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