Our bath re-enamelling service in Plymouth
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and a coloured bath you want in white, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
What it costs in Plymouth
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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Plymouth
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Plymouth use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Have chips seen to early
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What affects the price in Plymouth
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Plymouth. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Common reasons people in Plymouth contact us are:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Lots of chips and rust spots
FAQs for Plymouth
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
