About our bath re-enamelling in Tipton St John
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. If you are dealing with a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

What we are called out for in Tipton St John

Customers typically contact us about:
- A roll-top that’s seen better days

- Several chips and rust patches
- An old resurfacing that is failing

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Tipton St John: your questions answered
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Are there extra charges for Tipton St John?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Tipton St John?
Prices start from £350. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your EX10 postcode.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Landlord and trade work in Tipton St John
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Why repair rather than replace?
There are times replacing is better: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
