How we handle bath re-enamelling in St Eval
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. We work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths, and common reasons people contact us are an old resurfacing that’s failing and lots of chips and rust spots.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Landlord and trade work in St Eval
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in St Eval, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Repair dripping taps early
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What we are called out for in St Eval
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
Comparing quotes

Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is what we repair.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
St Eval questions
Do you come to St Eval?
We do. We send a technician to St Eval for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
