Bath re-enamelling near Woodbury Salterton

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Holes rusted through the metal

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Woodbury Salterton

Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and several chips and rust patches, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How it works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a full day. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Woodbury Salterton

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is there a smell?

Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX5 postcode.

Why repair rather than replace?

For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Have chips seen to early
  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Woodbury Salterton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
