Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Bigbury-on-Sea, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Respect the curing time we give you
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bigbury-on-Sea?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
