Trusted bath re-enamelling in Winkleigh

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Bath re-enamelling in Winkleigh without replacing anything

We don’t move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It typically takes one visit, and can be used again the next day. If you’re dealing with enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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 day after.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Steel that has corroded right through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Respect the curing time we give you

Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Winkleigh questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Will the bath be moved?

Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

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

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What we are called out for in Winkleigh

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A coating lifting around the plughole
