Bath re-enamelling for Little Hay homes

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Little Hay. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Little Hay. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Little Hay

We re-enamel plenty of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Doing them in place keeps an original feature. Our repair technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, cast iron baths and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are several chips and rust patches and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Little Hay: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Do you cover Little Hay?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Little Hay from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
  4. We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s generally ready the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Little Hay

The gloss on enamel is thin, and abrasive cleaning slowly wears it away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • A coloured bath you want in white
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
  • Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Have chips seen to early

The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Hay as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Pressed steel

Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
