Bath re-enamelling in Collaton St Mary without replacing anything
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We’re often asked to fix a roll-top that’s seen better days and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Torbay.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Landlord and trade work in Collaton St Mary
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Collaton St Mary
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How long will the bath be out of use?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Common problems we fix in Collaton St Mary
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Common reasons people in Collaton St Mary contact us include:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Collaton St Mary. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes the best part of a day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
