Bath re-enamelling in Buckland Newton without replacing anything
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and staining under the taps and around the waste, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Repairing versus replacing in Buckland Newton
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Buckland Newton. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
FAQs for Buckland Newton
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Are you accredited?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you come to Buckland Newton?

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Buckland Newton?
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Stains that won’t shift
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
