Bath re-enamelling in Alverstoke, done in place

We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. The finish is sprayed on in several coats over a bonding primer, once the bath has been cleaned, repaired and prepared. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and thin, worn enamel in places, we can typically put it right, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
  • A bath split right through the body
  • A bath that’s rusted through

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath

If you are in Alverstoke and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we’re called out for in Alverstoke

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That is the point where re-enamelling makes sense.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A period or roll-top bath worth keeping
  • Stains that will not shift
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Get any chip repaired quickly
  • Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
  • A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and do not leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and rust spots spread under the surface. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.

Landlord and trade work in Alverstoke

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alverstoke use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Alverstoke questions

Do you cover Alverstoke?

We do. Technicians travel to Alverstoke from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

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.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take most of the day, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
  5. Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Should you replace it?

A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
