DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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 kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Questions from Hay Street

Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?

The entire UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How long does re-enamelling take?

Typically one day, with the bath ready the day after. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will the new finish last?

It depends on preparation, use and care. With good preparation and gentle cleaning it lasts a long time, and our work is guaranteed for a year.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What we are called out for in Hay Street

Sometimes it’s an earlier resurfacing that has failed, lifting by the plughole or blistering. We strip what’s failing and start again.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Hay Street. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Don’t leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • A cast iron or steel bath that’s cracked right through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
