Repairing versus replacing in Chulmleigh
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We leave the room as we found it

Bath re-enamelling in Chulmleigh without replacing anything
Resurfacing renews the entire surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We’re often asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in Chulmleigh
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Chulmleigh

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Chulmleigh
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Chulmleigh?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chulmleigh use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common problems we fix in Chulmleigh
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Look out for any of the following:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A roll-top that is seen better days
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Aftercare advice
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
