Bath re-enamelling in Ivybridge without replacing anything
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. We work on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and several chips and rust patches.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Ivybridge
For anyone letting property in or around Ivybridge, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ivybridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Ivybridge
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
