Bath re-enamelling at your home in Farway
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We regularly repair basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and thin, worn enamel in places.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Farway as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Farway: your questions answered
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Farway?
Resurfacing from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Farway
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Farway, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
