Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Halberton, Devon

- A roll-top that is seen better days

Bath re-enamelling in Halberton without replacing anything
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. We work on pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Halberton: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Halberton?
Resurfacing from £350. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What else we do in Halberton
Landlord and trade work in Halberton
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Common problems we fix in Halberton
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Customers typically contact us about:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Lots of chips and rust spots
Questions to ask before booking
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who turns up on the day
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repair or replace in Halberton?
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
