Bath re-enamelling in Bantham Cross, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are thin, worn enamel in places and a roll-top that’s seen better days.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bantham Cross and across Devon.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Have chips seen to early
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a repair cannot fix

- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What affects the price in Bantham Cross
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish

- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What else we do in Bantham Cross
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Bantham Cross
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that will not shift
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- A fixed quote before booking
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Bantham Cross questions
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Is there a smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
