How we handle bath re-enamelling in Halwill Junction
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the next day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coating lifting around the plughole, across acrylic baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Halwill Junction and across Devon.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take most of the day.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry

Repairing versus replacing in Halwill Junction
There are times replacing is better: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Halwill Junction customers choose us
- Everything repaired in place
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
Take a look at our full price list or guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Halwill Junction questions
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Halwill Junction. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX21 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
