Bath Re-enamelling for Newton Ferrers homes
Full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing in Newton Ferrers, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Resurfacing takes one technician and generally a day, with the bath back in use the following day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Bath re-enamelling in Newton Ferrers without replacing anything
We don’t move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for a bath in a colour that no longer suits and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Newton Ferrers and across Devon.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A metal bath with a through crack
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair

- Acrylic baths

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Newton Ferrers
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

What else we do in Newton Ferrers
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow the best part of a day, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Landlord and trade work in Newton Ferrers
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos 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.
