Bath re-enamelling at your home in Combeinteignhead
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. We regularly repair acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath in a colour that no longer suits and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Repair dripping taps early
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t 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 tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Common problems we fix in Combeinteignhead
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the price covers travel
- What aftercare is recommended

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
