About our bath re-enamelling in Bovey Tracey
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and stains that won’t shift.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Bovey Tracey
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A coloured bath you want in white

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Store bottles off the bath
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Repairing versus replacing in Bovey Tracey
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
