Yate questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover Yate?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Yate. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How long does re-enamelling take?
Generally one day, with the bath ready the day after. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. We work on the bath in place, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Bath re-enamelling in Yate without replacing anything
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, re-enamelling is typically the most cost-effective option. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We are often asked to fix worn patches where water runs and sits and staining under the taps and around the waste, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Gloucestershire.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Yate
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Several chips and rust patches
- Wear marks under the taps
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include

Landlords, agents and businesses in Yate
Rental properties take more wear, 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, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, avoid suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BS37 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
