Trusted bath re-enamelling in Slapton

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Slapton

When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can usually put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow the best part of a day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use

The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Work for landlords and builders

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

For anyone letting property in or around Slapton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back

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

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Slapton

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Choosing a repair company

Slapton: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
