When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sampford Chapple
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are worn patches where water runs and sits and a coating lifting around the plughole.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Have chips seen to early
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Never use suction bath mats
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Sampford Chapple?
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and cleaning harder only makes it worse. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- How to care for the finish
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Sampford Chapple: your questions answered
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Sampford Chapple?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
