Bath re-enamelling at your home in Haylands
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. We regularly repair pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and Victorian roll-tops, and people most often call us about an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and a bath that stays dull however much you clean it.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Never use suction bath mats
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, to stop limescale building up.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
FAQs for Haylands
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Haylands. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
Most clients in Haylands get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes the best part of a day.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
