About our bath re-enamelling in Heatherfield
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. If you’re dealing with stains that won’t shift and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Heatherfield
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 is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we’re 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.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Should you replace it?
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. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Heatherfield
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
When to call us in Heatherfield
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Stains that won’t shift
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
