  • A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What happens on the day

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 we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

How we price bath re-enamelling

Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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 quote.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath that is rusted through

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Acrylic baths

Repairs by material

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

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 is the part we put right.

Questions from Colebrook

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you need to take the bath out?

No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.

What does bath re-enamelling cost?

Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Landlord and trade work in Colebrook

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colebrook as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
