About our bath re-enamelling in Widworthy
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, with the bath ready to use the following day. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include a coating lifting around the plughole and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, across pressed steel baths, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Widworthy questions
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will the bath be moved?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. We strip the failing coating and resurface it properly. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
We cover the whole UK, including Widworthy and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Widworthy?
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, with nothing wrong except the surface. The body of the bath is usually perfectly sound.
The things customers typically mention when they call are:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Stains that will not shift
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Repair dripping taps early
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A bath split right through the body
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Widworthy. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
You do not 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Widworthy
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
