How we handle bath re-enamelling in Abbotts Ann

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Whether it’s an outdated colour you’d like to change and several chips and rust patches, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Different materials, different repairs

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. They’re built to last, and only the surface wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Pressed steel

Pressed steel baths take a new finish well, as long as any rust is dealt with first. Steel frequently rusts by the plughole, so we pay close attention there.

Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Abbotts Ann

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, roll-tops are a big part of our work. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there a smell?

There is some smell while the coating is applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the finish cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, most people go for white. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. There’s no area surcharge for Abbotts Ann. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs straight away
  • Fix dripping taps quickly

Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, because they can mark the finish. Repair dripping taps promptly.

Rust spots on a worn bath get worse with time, and each one adds to the preparation. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths
  • Basins & shower trays
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Victorian roll-tops

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, 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, and the work is guaranteed.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes the best part of a day. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should you replace it?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
