About our bath re-enamelling in Hailey
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. Typical jobs include thin, worn enamel in places and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.

Common questions in Hailey
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so the tiles and taps stay put.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Hailey.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Hailey
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There is no need for us to visit first. 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.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a full day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- 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 several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
