How we handle bath re-enamelling in Galmpton
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and the jobs we see most are chips and rust in more than one place and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Galmpton
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Common questions in Galmpton
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Galmpton
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Common reasons people in Galmpton contact us are:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Stains that will not shift
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the colour is matched
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Galmpton. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TQ7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
