How we handle bath re-enamelling in Yealmbridge
Most baths are re-enamelled in a day, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. We work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and common reasons people contact us are a peeling or bubbling previous coating and stains that won’t shift.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

The process
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 the best part of a day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that’s rusted through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in Yealmbridge get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
Common problems we fix in Yealmbridge
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Thin, worn enamel in places
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Chips and rust in more than one place
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 generally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.
FAQs for Yealmbridge
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
