Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bere Alston
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about lots of chips and rust spots and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What affects the price in Bere Alston
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bere Alston
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
Take a look at our prices page or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Bere Alston
