How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take the best part of a day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- The bath is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit

How we handle bath re-enamelling in Yawl
Many of the baths we re-enamel are period roll-tops, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. If you are dealing with worn patches where water runs and sits and a roll-top that’s seen better days, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. There is no area surcharge for Yawl. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Yawl, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Questions from Yawl
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you cover Yawl?
We do. We send a technician to Yawl for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Yawl included. Travel is included in the price.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Typically a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Repair dripping taps early
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. Resurfacing before they spread keeps it simpler.
Repairing versus replacing in Yawl
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and usually a day. Prices start from £350. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- No need to remove anything
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
When to call us in Yawl
In hard water areas, limescale and the cleaning it needs wear enamel faster, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Brown or grey marks that don’t clean off
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How to look after the finish
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
We resurface acrylic baths as well, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot.
Pressed steel
Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, once any rust has been treated. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.
Landlord and trade work in Yawl
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
