Layer-de-la-Haye questions
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Layer-de-la-Haye?
Prices start from £350. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does re-enamelling smell?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Layer-de-la-Haye. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Layer-de-la-Haye. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Layer-de-la-Haye get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should you replace it?
When the bathroom is fine apart from the bath’s finish, re-enamelling is the least disruptive fix. Nothing else is disturbed. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Normally one visit, start to finish

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
