Bath re-enamelling in Black Torrington without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Whether it’s a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Black Torrington, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What we are called out for in Black Torrington
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Black Torrington
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for Black Torrington?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
