Bath re-enamelling at your home in Plymstock
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What affects the price in Plymstock
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Plymstock and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
A replacement often means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day, and the bath is usable the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Plymstock
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Plymstock use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Common problems we fix in Plymstock
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Stains that will not shift
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Questions from Plymstock
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
