Bath re-enamelling in Buckfast without replacing anything
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can usually put it right.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to most of the day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buckfast as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Questions from Buckfast
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Normally one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Are there extra charges for Buckfast?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
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 price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Buckfast and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
