About our bath re-enamelling in Yr Hôb

Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. We are often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and an old resurfacing that’s failing, in basins & shower trays, cast iron baths and Victorian roll-tops.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Yr Hôb and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we check it carefully.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. We charge the same across the UK, including Yr Hôb. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Yr Hôb, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Never use suction bath mats
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately

Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, particularly with hard water, and rinse away any product left on the surface.

Do not try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It removes more of the surface and makes resurfacing more work.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
