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 the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
About our bath re-enamelling in Yeaveley
If your bath is sound but looks tired, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. We work on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about an old resurfacing that’s failing and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Other services in Yeaveley
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Yeaveley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we’re called out for in Yeaveley
Older baths frequently have several problems at once: worn patches, chips, rust spots and stains. Re-enamelling deals with all of them in one go.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Stains that won’t shift
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
- A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Yeaveley: your questions answered
Can you change the colour of my bath?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How long will the bath be out of use?
Usually a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. Deeply pitted baths may need a second day.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs
See our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.
What affects the price in Yeaveley
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Have chips seen to early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, especially in hard water areas, so limescale cannot build up.
Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time and make the job bigger. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
- We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
