DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Bishop's Tawton
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Bishop's Tawton. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Bishop's Tawton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we’re called out for in Bishop's Tawton
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- 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 following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
