Bath re-enamelling near Salterton

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Store bottles off the bath
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

About our bath re-enamelling in Salterton

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and the jobs we see most are worn patches where water runs and sits and chips and rust in more than one place.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, and the bath is usable the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything

Landlord and trade work in Salterton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a full day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Acrylic that moves when you stand in it

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Salterton

Repairs by material

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Roll-top and period baths

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