Bath re-enamelling at your home in Tiverton

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a coloured bath you want in white and a peeling or bubbling previous coating.

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

What your bath is made of matters

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 the part we put right.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

What affects the price in Tiverton

Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Tiverton?

Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A roll-top that’s seen better days
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Several chips and rust patches

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not leave a chip unrepaired
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

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