Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Apse Heath
The gloss on enamel is thin, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A peeling or bubbling previous coating
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring

Bath re-enamelling at your home in Apse Heath
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. Whether it’s an old resurfacing that’s failing and wear marks under the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Have chips seen to early
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, because they can mark the finish. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further and makes resurfacing more work.

What else we do in Apse Heath
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in Apse Heath
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What areas do you cover?
All of Isle of Wight, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Apse Heath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What your bath is made of matters
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
- An acrylic bath that flexes badly underfoot
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How we price bath re-enamelling
Prices start from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Apse Heath and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
