Bath re-enamelling in Poltimore, done in place
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We are frequently asked to fix a peeling or bubbling previous coating and staining under the taps and around the waste, across basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Poltimore, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Can I fix it myself?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
When to call us in Poltimore
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- How to look after the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
