How we handle bath re-enamelling in Littleham
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Littleham
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are there extra charges for Littleham?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
We cover the entire UK, including Littleham and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Will the bath be moved?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room protected and ventilated.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we’re called out for in Littleham
Frequently the bath has just had decades of use, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is typically as strong as ever.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Littleham. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Littleham get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
Repair or replace in Littleham?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing usually wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a full day. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
