About our bath re-enamelling in Hooe
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and an outdated colour you’d like to change, in pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

When to call us in Hooe
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- Stains that will not shift
- An old resurfacing that is failing
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off

- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Fix dripping taps quickly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What affects the price in Hooe
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Hooe. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hooe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hooe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hooe
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hooe as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Plymouth and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
