About our bath re-enamelling in Plympton St Maurice

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and rust in more than one place and a coloured bath you want in white.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Plympton St Maurice

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Plympton St Maurice.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Common problems we fix in Plympton St Maurice

In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to look after the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Repair or replace in Plympton St Maurice?

A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Plympton St Maurice as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath that’s rusted through
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes most of the day, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
