When to call us in Mutley
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Bath re-enamelling in Mutley, done in place
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. We work on cast iron baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a coloured bath you want in white and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Mutley questions
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Have chips seen to early
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
For anyone letting property in or around Mutley, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
