Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Sutcombe
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Sutcombe included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside if you’d like.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Sutcombe
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. There is no charge for travel to Sutcombe. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
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.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
For a price in Sutcombe, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, making good the walls and tiles and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Work done at your home or business
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Generally one visit, start to finish

How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Store bottles off the bath
The first few days matter most: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
