How we handle bath re-enamelling in Crediton
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Crediton
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Do you cover Crediton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Crediton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Have chips seen to early
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Crediton
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is normally as strong as ever.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Several chips and rust patches
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- Wear marks under the taps
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
