How we handle bath re-enamelling in East Prawle
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are frequently asked to fix lots of chips and rust spots and stains that won’t shift, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Respect the curing time we give you
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in East Prawle?
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Several chips and rust patches
- Stains that will not shift
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Repairs by material
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in East Prawle
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
