Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Bow, Devon
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Bow, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Chips and rust in more than one place
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bow
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about lots of chips and rust spots and staining under the taps and around the waste.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bow?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the following day.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bow
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
We cover the entire UK, including Bow and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Should you replace it?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?

- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Same prices wherever you are
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
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. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
