Common problems we fix in South Widcombe
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Bath re-enamelling in South Widcombe, done in place
We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and lots of chips and rust spots, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repairing versus replacing in South Widcombe
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the entire surface with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before you book
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
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 needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
