About our bath re-enamelling in Throwleigh
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and stains that won’t shift.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Throwleigh as everywhere else we work.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a full day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Throwleigh?
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Worn patches where water runs and sits

What else we do in Throwleigh
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Respect the curing time we give you
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairs by material
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Throwleigh
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Throwleigh. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX20 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
FAQs for Throwleigh
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Usually, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send pictures.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A bath split right through the body
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A bath that’s rusted through
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops
