Bath Re-enamelling for Torquay homes

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a full day, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on

About our bath re-enamelling in Torquay
Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. If you are dealing with a coloured bath you want in white and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can generally put it right, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Torquay
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What affects the price in Torquay
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Torquay. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Dry the bath after use if possible, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
