Bath Re-enamelling in Yettington
Bath re-enamelling in and around Yettington: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Chips and rust in more than one place
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Bath re-enamelling at your home in Yettington
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and a coating lifting around the plughole.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Yettington and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day, including clearing up.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairing versus replacing in Yettington
Replacement only makes sense in a few cases: if the bath is cracked through, if you want a different size or shape, or if you are refitting the entire room anyway. Otherwise, resurfacing typically wins. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

- Several chips and rust patches
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste

- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
