How we handle bath re-enamelling in Meavy
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without a refit. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a coloured bath you want in white and chips and rust in more than one place.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your bath is made of matters
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.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Meavy. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Meavy: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
How long does re-enamelling last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Meavy
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
What to look for in a quote
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
