Common questions in Countess Wear
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What areas do you cover?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Bath re-enamelling in Countess Wear without replacing anything
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. Common call-outs are for lots of chips and rust spots and stains that won’t shift, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and cast iron baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Countess Wear and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 is what we repair.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a full day for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Should you replace it?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing renews the whole surface without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Countess Wear. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Countess Wear
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Have chips seen to early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire bath
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
