Bath re-enamelling at your home in Penstone

After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Whether it’s a roll-top that’s seen better days and thin, worn enamel in places, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What affects the price in Penstone

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Penstone and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface

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

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A bath split right through the body
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Penstone: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Penstone and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Do you need to take the bath out?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Are there extra charges for Penstone?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you work in Penstone?

We do. We send a technician to Penstone for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can I fix it myself?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
