For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Croyde as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Bath re-enamelling in Croyde, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and several chips and rust patches, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Croyde questions
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Croyde. Prices don’t change with location.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How long is the bath unusable?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
When to call us in Croyde
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Croyde. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why Croyde customers choose us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Everything repaired in place

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX33 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
