Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Meshaw
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Do you come to Meshaw?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Meshaw for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What affects the price in Meshaw
Resurfacing from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Meshaw. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What else we do in Meshaw
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

- No extra charge for your area

Common problems we fix in Meshaw
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Look out for any of the following:
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Stains that will not shift
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Meshaw as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
