Bath re-enamelling in Teignmouth without replacing anything

After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and a coloured bath you want in white, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Teignmouth

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Teignmouth use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Repair dripping taps early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Never use suction bath mats

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

A repair is not right for every job, including:

Teignmouth questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?

Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Roll-top and period baths

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

Repairing versus replacing in Teignmouth

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Read our pricing or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Teignmouth?

Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Stains that will not shift

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended
