- Resurfacing from £350

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
Bath re-enamelling in Nether Exe, done in place
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for a peeling or bubbling previous coating and several chips and rust patches, in basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Nether Exe
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common questions in Nether Exe
Are there extra charges for Nether Exe?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the whole room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
