Bath re-enamelling & resurfacing in Week St Mary, Devon
Damaged bath in Week St Mary? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Lots of chips and rust spots
What your bath is made of matters
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.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Week St Mary
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people get in touch are a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Week St Mary and across Devon.

What we are called out for in Week St Mary
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, generally first under the taps and around the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A coloured bath you want in white
Before booking anyone
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Week St Mary: your questions answered
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Devon.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How long is the bath unusable?
Normally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Never use suction bath mats
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Should you replace it?

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Week St Mary. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
