What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Holes rusted through the metal
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Plymtree. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Plymtree

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What we are called out for in Plymtree

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A roll-top that is seen better days

Do I have to be there?

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
