Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Colyford
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Colyford
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repairing versus replacing in Colyford
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What we are called out for in Colyford
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that will not shift
- Several chips and rust patches
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- What prep work is covered
- Who turns up on the day

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Colyford
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you work in Colyford?
We do. Technicians travel to Colyford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
