How we handle bath re-enamelling in Aldershot
We do not move the bath, so your taps, tiles and plumbing are left alone. Most baths are done in one visit, and can be used again the day after. Whether it’s a coating lifting around the plughole and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough, we can typically put it right, on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes most of the day, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- The bath is cleaned, degreased and any chips or rust repaired.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Aldershot: your questions answered
Do you work in Aldershot?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Aldershot. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Will there be fumes?
A little, during the work. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Holes rusted through the metal
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Acrylic baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
For a sound bath, resurfacing costs far less than replacement, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- Colour-matched on site

Getting a price from photos
