About our bath re-enamelling in Ham
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can normally put it right.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Plymouth.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
About Ham
Ham is about 2 miles west of Plymouth, in Plymouth. Our work suits any type of property, old or new, large or small, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. Ham is one of 59 towns and villages in Plymouth where we work.
All of PL2 and PL5 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. You’ll find streets such as Ham Lane, Scott Road and Lopes Road. You’ll find Ham on the A3064, which makes it straightforward to reach. We also cover the places around Ham: North Prospect (1 mile south), Weston Mill (1 mile west), Pennycross (1 mile east), Milehouse (1 mile south-east) and Keyham (1 mile south-west). Larger places within reach include Burraton (3 miles west), Plympton St Maurice (6 miles east), Plymstock (4 miles south-east), Sherford (6 miles south-east), St Stephens (3 miles west) and Oreston (3 miles south-east). Being one of Plymouth’s larger places, Ham is somewhere we visit often.

Nearby too are All Saints Church of England Academy (0.5 miles north-east), Central Park (0.9 miles south-east), St James the Less (less than half a mile west) and North Prospect Library (within half a mile south-west). The nearest railway station is Keyham station, roughly 0.9 miles south-west. Nearby you will also find Plymouth General Hospital (1.7 miles south-west) and Saltash Heritage (2.2 miles west).
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Questions from Ham
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What affects the price in Ham
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.

- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Repair or replace: which is better?
If you like your bathroom but not your bath’s surface, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Tiles, panels and taps stay put. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our prices page and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
