Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Babbacombe, Torbay
Bath re-enamelling across Babbacombe and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.

- Wear marks under the taps
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
About our bath re-enamelling in Babbacombe
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It generally takes one visit, and can be used again the following day. Typical jobs include lots of chips and rust spots and stains that won’t shift, in cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Babbacombe
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Babbacombe
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
