Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Rockbeare, Devon
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Rockbeare and the surrounding area, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Bath re-enamelling in Rockbeare, done in place
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Typical jobs include wear marks under the taps and a coloured bath you want in white, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. There is no area surcharge for Rockbeare. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it

Common questions in Rockbeare
Do you come to Rockbeare?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Rockbeare. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

When to call us in Rockbeare
The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Wear marks under the taps
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
