Bath re-enamelling in Ringmore without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are an outdated colour you’d like to change and stains that won’t shift.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ringmore and across Devon.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Ringmore. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

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

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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 most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Ringmore

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Ringmore questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

How long does re-enamelling last?

Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
