Bath re-enamelling near Pype Hayes

Bath re-enamelling in Pype Hayes, done in place

We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Common call-outs are for wear marks under the taps and an outdated colour you’d like to change, on pressed steel baths, acrylic baths and cast iron baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pype Hayes

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.

Should you replace it?

Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. In most other cases, resurfacing is the better choice. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pype Hayes. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Pype Hayes customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
  • A bath split right through the body

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

What we’re called out for in Pype Hayes

Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Chips and rust in more than one place
  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
