Bath re-enamelling for Parracombe homes

About our bath re-enamelling in Parracombe

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. If you are dealing with a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can help, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Landlord and trade work in Parracombe

If you manage property in Parracombe, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath

Most clients in Parracombe get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

What we are called out for in Parracombe

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Common reasons people in Parracombe contact us are:

  • A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • Stains that won’t shift

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who turns up on the day

FAQs for Parracombe

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

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

Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
