Trusted bath re-enamelling in Andover Down

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Andover Down

Cast iron and steel baths are ideal for re-enamelling, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our technicians work on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about chips and rust in more than one place and a period or roll-top bath worth keeping.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Repair dripping taps early
  • Have chips seen to early
  • Never use suction bath mats

Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, do not use suction bath mats, and don’t leave bottles or razors standing on the surface.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Andover Down questions

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you make a coloured bath white?

Yes. Coloured baths can be resurfaced in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can you fix a peeling bath coating?

Yes. Stripping the old coating adds time, so it’s reflected in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Andover Down and the rest of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes the best part of a day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
  3. Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
  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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Andover Down

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Andover Down customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are

Landlords, agents and businesses in Andover Down

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

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.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Andover Down

Hard water speeds up the wear, and gritty cleaners are the worst culprits.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Wear marks under the taps
  • Lots of chips and rust spots
  • Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
