How we handle bath re-enamelling in Payhembury
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We are frequently asked to fix thin, worn enamel in places and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, in Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Payhembury and across Devon.

What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Does the bath have to be removed?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

What affects the price in Payhembury
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most customers in Payhembury get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.
