About our bath re-enamelling in Holbeton
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is generally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We’re often asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Common questions in Holbeton
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is there a smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, so we ventilate the room. It fades as the coating cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Other services in Holbeton
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Holbeton?
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, peeling around the waste or bubbling. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What your quote should include
- Aftercare advice
- How long it needs to cure
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Holbeton, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
