How we handle bath re-enamelling in Mary Tavy
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, across basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Have chips seen to early
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes most of the day. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Questions from Mary Tavy
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common problems we fix in Mary Tavy
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
Repairing versus replacing in Mary Tavy
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Prices start from £350. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
