Bath re-enamelling in Appledore without replacing anything
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you’re dealing with an old resurfacing that’s failing and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can help, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Appledore and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Appledore. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Appledore. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Common problems we fix in Appledore
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Appledore questions
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Appledore included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Have chips seen to early
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
