The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take most of the day, including clearing up.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Bath re-enamelling in Yealmpton, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can generally put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
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.
When to call us in Yealmpton
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is usually as strong as ever.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Yealmpton: your questions answered
What does bath re-enamelling cost?
Resurfacing from £350. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL8 postcode.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and it’s guaranteed for a year.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Never use suction bath mats
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
