How we handle bath re-enamelling in Wembworthy
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and chips and rust in more than one place.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What affects the price in Wembworthy
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Wembworthy
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How long is the bath unusable?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What we are called out for in Wembworthy
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Look out for any of the following:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
