Drypool: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hull.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover the entire of Hull?
Across the UK, and that includes Drypool. Prices do not change with location.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Drypool
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We’re often asked to fix staining under the taps and around the waste and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, on basins & shower trays, Victorian roll-tops and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, typically one day, with the bath back in use the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Never use suction bath mats
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Victorian roll-tops

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We don’t charge extra for travel to Drypool. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire bath
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For a price in Drypool, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Drypool
Enamel does not fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
