Trusted bath re-enamelling in Stockleigh Pomeroy

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. It normally takes most of the day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

About our bath re-enamelling in Stockleigh Pomeroy

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. We work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a roll-top that’s seen better days.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

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

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

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

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Fix dripping taps quickly
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stockleigh Pomeroy use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Stockleigh Pomeroy

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Does the bath have to be removed?

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

Common problems we fix in Stockleigh Pomeroy

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A coloured bath you want in white

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
