Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Taleford, Devon
Fixed-price bath re-enamelling in Taleford and the surrounding area, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A coloured bath you want in white
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Bath re-enamelling in Taleford, done in place
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, in cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Should you replace it?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s much quicker too. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Taleford. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
For a price in Taleford, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How quickly can you book me in?

Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?

Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your EX11 postcode.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
If you manage property in Taleford, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
Common problems we fix in Taleford

- Staining under the taps and around the waste
