Bath Re-enamelling for Exminster homes
Bath re-enamelling in and around Exminster: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Bath re-enamelling in Exminster without replacing anything
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Exminster as everywhere else we work.

Questions from Exminster
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Exminster?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Exminster
- Victorian roll-tops

What affects the price in Exminster
Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When to call us in Exminster
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
