How we handle bath re-enamelling in Chillington
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
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 give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
What else we do in Chillington
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a full day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Chillington and nearby
Chillington is about 11 miles south-west of Brixham, in Devon. Across the TQ7 area, we carry out the work at your property. We cover all 586 towns and villages in Devon, from the larger towns to small villages.
Postcode districts we cover here: TQ7. Whether you live on Tanpits Meadow, Helmers Way and Cotmore Way or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. Neighbouring places we cover include Stokenham (1 mile east), Frogmore (1 mile west), Sherford (1 mile north-west), Beeson (2 miles south-east) and Torcross (2 miles east). We also work in nearby towns such as Ivybridge (13 miles north-west), Totnes (11 miles north), Dartmouth (7 miles north-east), Kingsbridge (4 miles west), Shiphay (15 miles north) and Bridgetown (11 miles north).
Near you in Chillington
In Chillington, that means homes near Stokenham Area Primary School, Bear & Blacksmith pub and Church of St Michael and the streets around them. A little further out are South Hams Hospital (3.9 miles west) and The Old Grammar School (3.7 miles west). Green spaces nearby include Slapton Ley.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
FAQs for Chillington
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Chillington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
