Bath re-enamelling for South Molton homes

How we handle bath re-enamelling in South Molton

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we don’t cut corners on it. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and stains that won’t shift, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlord and trade work in South Molton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in South Molton?

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Common reasons people in South Molton contact us include:

  • Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up

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

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

South Molton questions

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

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.

Do you work in South Molton?

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

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in South Molton?

Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

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

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
