Common questions in Hay Green
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you resurface a pink bath in white?
Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
About our bath re-enamelling in Hay Green
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a coating lifting around the plughole.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hay Green
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hay Green use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Prices and what affects them
Resurfacing from £350. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Hay Green and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Never use suction bath mats
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
Wait for the curing time we give you before the first bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, with the bath ready the next day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
