About our bath re-enamelling in Yardley Hastings
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing are not touched. It usually takes one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and a coating lifting around the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Cast iron
Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Dry the bath after use if possible, particularly with hard water, and rinse off any bath products.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Repair or replace in Yardley Hastings?
If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, 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.
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Yardley Hastings?
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.

Do you come to Yardley Hastings?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Yardley Hastings from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you do the outside of a roll-top?
Yes, often. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for most of the day from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
