Bath re-enamelling in Cofton 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. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and worn patches where water runs and sits.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Cofton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
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 pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Cofton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Cofton questions
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
We cover the entire UK, including Cofton and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Cofton?
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use. The body of the bath is generally perfectly sound.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coating lifting around the plughole
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job

- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s what we repair.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a full day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
