Bath re-enamelling in Hayton, 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. We work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and Victorian roll-tops, and the jobs we see most are thin, worn enamel in places and an old resurfacing that’s failing.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hayton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hayton questions

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you cover Hayton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hayton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Hayton

Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, often need breaking up, and a new one is not cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why Hayton clients choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Hayton. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Respect the curing time we give you
  • Keep suction mats out of the bath

Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

What your bath is made of matters

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a full day. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
  2. Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
  5. The bath is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
