Bath re-enamelling at your home in Great Fossend
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the entire bath is tired rather than one spot. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an outdated colour you’d like to change.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Great Fossend: your questions answered
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the following day. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Repairing versus replacing in Great Fossend
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually 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.

- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron baths

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
