About our bath re-enamelling in Bodley
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An old resurfacing that is failing

Questions from Bodley
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Bodley. Prices do not change with location.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you come to Bodley?
We do. We send a technician to Bodley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Other services in Bodley
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit

- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Holes rusted through the metal
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bodley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
