Common questions in Sandford
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you come to Sandford?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sandford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sandford
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Common call-outs are for a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandford
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us photos 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.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Store bottles off the bath
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

- Stains that will not shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Wear marks under the taps
- A coating lifting around the plughole
What your quote should include

- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
