DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Steel that has corroded right through
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Tŷ Sign
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Pressed steel baths
Repairs by material
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.
What we’re called out for in Tŷ Sign
Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, normally first under the taps and around the waste.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Wear marks under the taps
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Chips and rust in more than one place
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How your room will be protected
- How to care for the finish
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Tŷ Sign, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to the best part of a day.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Tŷ Sign: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How long does re-enamelling last?
Care for it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Tŷ Sign. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Tŷ Sign, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
