Bath re-enamelling in Hay, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Common call-outs are for enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Hay and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Hay?
Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use dull the surface, usually first under the taps and around the waste.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- An old resurfacing that’s failing
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- If travel is included in the price
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Have chips seen to early
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Never use suction bath mats
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Hay questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How long does re-enamelling last?
It depends on preparation, use and care. Properly prepared and looked after, it lasts well, and our work is guaranteed for a year.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
Do you come to Hay?
We do. We send a technician to Hay for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Hay
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
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.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- The bath is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
