About our bath re-enamelling in Sidmouth
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and an old resurfacing that’s failing.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes most of the day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the day after.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sidmouth as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairing versus replacing in Sidmouth
Getting a cast iron bath out is hard work: it’s very heavy, may need breaking up, and the replacement can be costly. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No need to remove anything
See our pricing or resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Sidmouth?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
- How to look after the finish
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have chips seen to early
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Avoid suction-cup mats
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
- Steel that has corroded right through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Sidmouth

What your bath is made of matters
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Sidmouth
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
That depends on preparation and how the bath is treated. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. Inside and out.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Do you cover Sidmouth?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Sidmouth and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
