Common questions in Sticklepath
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Devon.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Sticklepath
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

What affects the price in Sticklepath
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
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.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Repair or replace in Sticklepath?
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Re-enamelling avoids all of it.

The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
