Bath Re-enamelling in Hemerdon
Bath re-enamelling across Hemerdon and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
About our bath re-enamelling in Hemerdon
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Nothing is disconnected or removed. If you are dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can normally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Wear marks under the taps
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a full day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Hemerdon: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
All of Plymouth, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Hemerdon?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are you accredited?

Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hemerdon
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
