Bath re-enamelling at your home in West Buckland
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for an old resurfacing that’s failing and an original cast iron bath that needs restoring, on basins & shower trays, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in West Buckland
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Normally, yes. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Mention it when you send photos.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
If you manage property in West Buckland, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West Buckland. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a full day. We tidy up before we leave 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 on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in West Buckland
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Wear marks under the taps
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
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.
