About our bath re-enamelling in Tycoch
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, and we take our time over it. If you’re dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and brown or grey marks that don’t clean off, we can generally put it right.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath can take several days across several trades. Re-enamelling is one technician, usually one day, with the bath back in use the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why book with us
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Tycoch: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Tycoch.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be fumes?
Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs right away
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What we’re called out for in Tycoch
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, starting where water runs and sits.
Look out for any of the following:
- Several chips and rust patches
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- What prep work is covered

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, 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.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A metal bath with a through crack
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
