Bath Re-enamelling for Alswear homes
Local bath re-enamelling for Alswear: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Bath re-enamelling in Alswear, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Alswear
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
For anyone letting property in or around Alswear, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse off any bath products.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Alswear: your questions answered
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
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 pictures and you will get one combined price.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What affects the price in Alswear
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Alswear. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us

- Normally one visit, start to finish
