Book bath re-enamelling in Salcombe Regis

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a full day in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

We price from pictures 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.

Advice

About our bath re-enamelling in Salcombe Regis

Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about wear marks under the taps and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Salcombe Regis

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Salcombe Regis

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Salcombe Regis

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

Look out for these signs:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Store bottles off the bath

Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

What we work on

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