Can I fix it myself?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Bradiford
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. We’re frequently asked to fix a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

FAQs for Bradiford
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Common problems we fix in Bradiford
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Look out for any of the following:
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Stains that will not shift
What to look for in a quote
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
