Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Elburton
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are there extra charges for Elburton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What else we do in Elburton
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can price the job without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we’re called out for in Elburton
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A coating lifting around the plughole

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Repair dripping taps early
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Elburton. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Elburton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
