Bath re-enamelling in Pinhoe

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Landlord and trade work in Pinhoe

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a full day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

What we work on

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

When to call us in Pinhoe

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

FAQs for Pinhoe

Can you change the colour of my bath?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
