When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops alike.

FAQs for Buckfastleigh
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you cover Buckfastleigh?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Buckfastleigh from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TQ11 postcode.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
We cover the entire UK, including Buckfastleigh and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- 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
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
