How we handle bath re-enamelling in Ideford
We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Ideford
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Ideford?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TQ13 postcode.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
The entire UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Different materials, different repairs
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
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.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole bath
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Common problems we fix in Ideford
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A coating lifting around the plughole

- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- How your room will be protected

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for the best part of a day. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
