Your questions about bath re-enamelling in North Whilborough
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
We work UK-wide, so North Whilborough is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
- 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.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a full day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including North Whilborough. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
If you are in North Whilborough and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in North Whilborough
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Wear marks under the taps
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- How to look after the finish
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Should you replace it?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
