How we handle bath re-enamelling in Slapton

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. If you’re dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and lots of chips and rust spots, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When to call us in Slapton

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Slapton

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you cover Slapton?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Slapton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

Is my repair covered?

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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 following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repairing versus replacing in Slapton

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Read our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

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

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Keep suction mats out of the bath
  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Repairs by material

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
