About our bath re-enamelling in Walkhampton

Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you’re dealing with wear marks under the taps and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, we can normally put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Walkhampton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

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

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Wash away dyes and oils after use
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly

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

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Walkhampton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Walkhampton

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

How do I book?

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

Do you come to Walkhampton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Walkhampton and the rest of Devon. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

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

What we’re called out for in Walkhampton

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.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

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

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you’re in Walkhampton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
