Bath re-enamelling in Sampford Courtenay without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s thin, worn enamel in places and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can help, on acrylic baths, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not leave a chip unrepaired
- Respect the curing time we give you
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale can’t build up.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Repairing versus replacing in Sampford Courtenay
Replacing the bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Common questions in Sampford Courtenay
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the new finish last?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send pictures.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- 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.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
