Bath Re-enamelling for Battledown Cross homes
Bath re-enamelling across Battledown Cross and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Bath re-enamelling in Battledown Cross without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with a coating lifting around the plughole and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Battledown Cross questions
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What areas do you cover?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Landlord and trade work in Battledown Cross
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
