Bath re-enamelling at your home in Hayes
A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and thin, worn enamel in places.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hayes and across Greater London.

Repair or replace in Hayes?
Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Hayes questions
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Are there extra charges for Hayes?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What else we do in Hayes
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hayes
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us pictures 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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes most of the day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
What we cannot put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Steel that has corroded right through
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Hayes
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops

What affects the price in Hayes
Prices start from £350. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
