Need bath re-enamelling in Outer Hope?

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Outer Hope?

Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.

Look out for these signs:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white

About our bath re-enamelling in Outer Hope

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can help, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Cast iron

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Outer Hope questions

Do you come to Outer Hope?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Outer Hope and the rest of Devon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be fumes?

A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Outer Hope

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
