About our bath re-enamelling in Honiton

Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include several chips and rust patches and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, in Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath, we can give you a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Honiton

By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • Stains that won’t shift

What to look for in a quote

Choosing a repair company

Honiton questions

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Do you come to Honiton?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Honiton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How durable is a resurfaced bath?

It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A bath that is rusted through
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
