Bratton Clovelly: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Bratton Clovelly?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
About our bath re-enamelling in Bratton Clovelly
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes the best part of a day in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale can’t build up.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
