FAQs for Millhayes
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Will the bath be moved?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you work in Millhayes?
We do. We send a technician to Millhayes for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Millhayes included. Travel is included in the price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Millhayes
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. We regularly repair cast iron baths, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store bottles off the bath
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, to stop limescale building up.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Millhayes?

- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Millhayes
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, making good the walls and tiles and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colour mixed on the day to match

What bath re-enamelling costs
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole bath
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
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.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a full day, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
