About our bath re-enamelling in Bridford
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We are frequently asked to fix brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bridford and across Devon.

Repairing versus replacing in Bridford
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take most of the day.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can

Common questions in Bridford
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
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.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
Everywhere in the UK, Bridford included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What affects the price in Bridford
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Bridford. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Bridford get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bridford use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
