What affects the price in Holsworthy
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can price the job without visiting.
Bath re-enamelling in Holsworthy, done in place
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Typical jobs include an outdated colour you’d like to change and an old resurfacing that’s failing, on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holsworthy as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What we are called out for in Holsworthy
Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Holsworthy
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
