Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Chittlehampton, Devon
We travel to Chittlehampton for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
About our bath re-enamelling in Chittlehampton
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, so we do not cut corners on it. We regularly repair acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about chips and rust in more than one place and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material
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, with the outside refinished as well.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Holes rusted through the metal
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Advice
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

Questions from Chittlehampton
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover Chittlehampton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Chittlehampton and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Why repair rather than replace?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
