The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes most of the day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Bath re-enamelling in Whiddon without replacing anything
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our repair technicians work on cast iron baths, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are staining under the taps and around the waste and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Whiddon and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
Questions from Whiddon
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the bath be moved?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Are there extra charges for Whiddon?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I need to be at home?

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whiddon
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
When to call us in Whiddon
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
Common reasons people in Whiddon contact us are:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- A coloured bath you want in white
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
Can I fix it myself?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
