Bath re-enamelling at your home in Bishopsteignton
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a coloured bath you want in white and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
When to call us in Bishopsteignton
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that is seen better days

What else we do in Bishopsteignton
Common questions in Bishopsteignton
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Will the new finish last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TQ14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bishopsteignton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
