Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. After that, a soft cloth and washing-up liquid is all it needs.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Starcross
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Whether it’s wear marks under the taps and an old resurfacing that’s failing, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlord and trade work in Starcross
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Starcross as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow most of the day, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Starcross, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
When to call us in Starcross
Older baths often have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Common reasons people in Starcross contact us are:
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
- Wear marks under the taps
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Starcross: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Mention it when you send photos.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the day after. We give you timings with the quote.
