Bath re-enamelling near Wembury

Bath re-enamelling in Wembury, done in place

Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. Whether it’s lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can usually put it right, on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Plymouth.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wembury use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Wembury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wembury

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • A metal bath with a through crack
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

Why repair rather than replace?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
