- Resurfacing from £350

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Haynes
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Stains that won’t shift
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Bath re-enamelling in Haynes, done in place
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which would be difficult and expensive to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Haynes and across Central Bedfordshire.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a full day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- 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 normally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse off any bath products.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.

Haynes questions
Which areas do you work in?
All of Central Bedfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
