- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Advice
Bath re-enamelling in West Charleton without replacing anything
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a coating lifting around the plughole and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

West Charleton questions
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
We cover the entire UK, including West Charleton and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long does re-enamelling take?
One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We will confirm timings when we quote.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Common problems we fix in West Charleton
Enamel does not fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Stains that won’t shift
- Chips and rust in more than one place

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Store bottles off the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, especially in hard water areas, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

Repair or replace in West Charleton?
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: a cracked-through bath, a change of size or shape, or a full refit. Otherwise, resurfacing normally wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
