Bath re-enamelling in Filleigh, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you have a peeling or bubbling previous coating and staining under the taps and around the waste, we can normally put it right.
In a village like Filleigh, some baths have been in for many years. If the bath is sound, bath re-enamelling gives it a new lease of life without disturbing the rest of the room.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths

What we’re called out for in Filleigh
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Several chips and rust patches
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Thin, worn enamel in places
If you let a flat or house near Umberleigh station (about 4.3 miles south-west), we repair baths between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not 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 photos, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Bath re-enamelling around Filleigh

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Is there a smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Older homes around Filleigh may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. Repairing avoids those problems.
Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Same prices wherever you are
Read our Prices page And Guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
