Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Coldeast, Devon
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Coldeast and the surrounding area, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Coldeast
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with wear marks under the taps and a coloured bath you want in white, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Coldeast
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
- Who turns up on the 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. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Coldeast clients choose us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One price list for the entire UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One visit for most repairs
See our prices page or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: 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.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coldeast as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Coldeast: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do you come to Coldeast?
We do. Technicians travel to Coldeast from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
