When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- A cast iron or steel bath that is cracked right through
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Laycock
We do not move the bath, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. If you are dealing with an outdated colour you’d like to change and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Don’t let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Laycock
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
Common reasons people in Laycock contact us include:
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Laycock
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Laycock?
Prices start from £350. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
How long is the bath unusable?
Typically one day, with the bath ready the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
What affects the price in Laycock
Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Laycock. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Repairs by material
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.
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
