About our bath re-enamelling in Colyton
The bath stays where it is, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most frequently call us about a roll-top that’s seen better days and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Colyton
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Repair or replace in Colyton?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Colyton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Colyton. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
