About our bath re-enamelling in Ampfield
The bath stays where it is, so the taps, tiles and plumbing aren’t touched. Most baths are done in one visit, with the bath ready to use the following day. Whether it’s several chips and rust patches and a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean, we can help.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
- Have chips seen to early
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
Give the finish its full curing time before using the bath. Then, gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is enough.
Worn enamel only gets rougher with time, and any rust spreads underneath. Acting earlier keeps the preparation simpler.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A bath split right through the body
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Advice
Ampfield questions
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and the basin and toilet can be done too.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
When to call us in Ampfield
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. Eventually the surface turns porous and stains.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again

Landlord and trade work in Ampfield
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and typically one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Prices start from £350. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
