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

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

- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access

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.

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.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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.
