Bath re-enamelling at your home in Charles
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We are frequently asked to fix stains that won’t shift and a roll-top that’s seen better days, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Charles use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- One price list for the whole UK

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Charles
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Typically, yes. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Have chips seen to early
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first 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.
What we’re called out for in Charles
Older baths often have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Several chips and rust patches
- Thin, worn enamel in places
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- 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.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
