Bath re-enamelling at your home in Torbay
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about a coloured bath you want in white and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
What you’ll pay
Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Torbay. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Repair dripping taps early
- Respect the curing time we give you
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
What we’re called out for in Torbay
Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Wear marks under the taps
Repair or replace?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it.
