Bath re-enamelling in Blackawton, done in place
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Blackawton and across Devon.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Blackawton questions
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackawton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Blackawton
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

- Rooms protected and left tidy
