Bath re-enamelling at your home in Salcombe
If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and stains that won’t shift, we can help, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

When to call us in Salcombe

The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairing versus replacing in Salcombe
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Salcombe clients choose us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- No extra charge for your area
- No need to remove anything

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Salcombe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Salcombe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
