Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Bath re-enamelling in Atherfield Green, done in place

Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. If you are dealing with a dull, rough surface that won’t come clean and a coloured bath you want in white, we can usually put it right, on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and cast iron baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Should you replace it?

A replacement often means several trades over several days. Re-enamelling is one technician, normally one day. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Atherfield Green

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • An old resurfacing that’s failing
  • Thin, worn enamel in places

10 questions to ask before booking

What your bath is made of matters

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a full day. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. We clean and degrease the bath and repair any chips or rust.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
  5. We leave it to cure, and it’s usually ready the day after.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Atherfield Green: your questions answered

How long does re-enamelling last?

A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you need to take the bath out?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Isle of Wight, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How we price bath re-enamelling

Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath
  • Any details about the material

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PO38 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
