About our bath re-enamelling in Alresford
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. There’s no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We work on acrylic baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are lots of chips and rust spots and enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Resurfacing from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Alresford. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Common questions in Alresford
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Can you fix a peeling bath coating?
Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
Does re-enamelling smell?
A little, during the work. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.
Do you need to take the bath out?
Not at all. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you work in Alresford?
We do. We send a technician to Alresford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Alresford
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Rinse off hair dye, oils and bath bombs immediately
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
The longer worn enamel is left, the rougher it gets, and rust spots spread under the surface. Resurfacing sooner means less repair work first.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes most of the day. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
