Bath Re-enamelling for Hay Mills homes
Our technicians come to Hay Mills for full bath re-enamelling and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hay Mills as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How we handle bath re-enamelling in Hay Mills
Re-enamelling is a one-day job for most baths, and you can use the bath the day after. Taps, tiles, panels and plumbing all stay in place. Typical jobs include chips and rust in more than one place and staining under the taps and around the waste, on Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common questions in Hay Mills
Is there a smell?
Yes, while we are applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What a repair cannot fix

- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What we are called out for in Hay Mills
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
- A dull, rough surface that will not come clean
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Stains that won’t shift
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- How to look after the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Repairing versus replacing in Hay Mills
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a full day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, the bath is ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
