Bath re-enamelling in Thorverton without replacing anything
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We’re often asked to fix a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, in Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Thorverton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Work done at your home or business
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Store bottles off the bath
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common questions in Thorverton
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Thorverton. The price depends on:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add 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 pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
