Bath re-enamelling near Hayton's Bent

Bath re-enamelling in Hayton's Bent, done in place

The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the next day. We work on pressed steel baths, cast iron baths and basins & shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are several chips and rust patches and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Hayton's Bent

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Shropshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

Common problems we fix in Hayton's Bent

Previous coatings can fail too, lifting by the plughole or blistering. Failing coatings are stripped back before we resurface.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Several chips and rust patches
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Stains that will not shift
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes most of the day in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A bath split right through the body

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Never use suction bath mats

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Hayton's Bent questions

Can a failed resurfacing be redone?

Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. You are under no obligation.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When can you do it?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Hayton's Bent and the rest of Shropshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hayton's Bent.
