Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
About our bath re-enamelling in Torre
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. Common call-outs are for several chips and rust patches and a roll-top that’s seen better days, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Torre questions
Will there be fumes?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
Do you cover Torre?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Torre and the rest of Torbay. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. We can do the inside and outside.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairing versus replacing in Torre
A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
