Bath re-enamelling near Otterton

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Otterton. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

About our bath re-enamelling in Otterton

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a roll-top that’s seen better days and wear marks under the taps.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Otterton questions

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

How long is the bath unusable?

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

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you work in Otterton?

We do. We send a technician to Otterton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

What we’re called out for in Otterton

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Thin, worn enamel in places
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Otterton?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

What your bath is made of matters

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
