Landlord and trade work in Bulverton
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Bath re-enamelling in Bulverton without replacing anything
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Never use suction bath mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repair or replace in Bulverton?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is usually much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Bulverton
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you come to Bulverton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Bulverton and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A metal bath with a through crack

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Bulverton. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
When to call us in Bulverton
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Look out for these signs:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
