Bath re-enamelling in Newton Abbot without replacing anything
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. If you’re dealing with lots of chips and rust spots and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlord and trade work in Newton Abbot
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace in Newton Abbot?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Why book with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Everything repaired in place
Take a look at our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to most of the day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
