Bath re-enamelling near Stoke Canon

Repair or replace in Stoke Canon?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you’re refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Stoke Canon

We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We are often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and lots of chips and rust spots, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlord and trade work in Stoke Canon

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.

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.

Stoke Canon: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.

How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Stoke Canon?

Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes the best part of a day. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Stoke Canon

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Stoke Canon?

Often the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. The body of the bath is normally perfectly sound.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • An old resurfacing that is failing
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • Thin, worn enamel in places
