FAQs for Hoe
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Hoe and the rest of Plymouth. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

About our bath re-enamelling in Hoe
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and worn patches where water runs and sits, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
