About our bath re-enamelling in Barton on Sea

A re-enamelled bath looks and feels like a new one, but without the cost and upheaval of a refit. It’s ideal if you like your bathroom but not the state of the bath. Our technicians work on Victorian roll-tops, basins & shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and a coloured bath you want in white.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Cast iron

Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. The enamel is the part that wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
  • Anything hidden under an old coating, until we remove it
  • Holes rusted through the metal

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

Materials we work on in Barton on Sea

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

Questions from Barton on Sea

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you resurface a pink bath in white?

Yes, most people go for white. Tell us what you’d like when you ask for a quote.

Someone resurfaced my bath and it’s peeling. Can you help?

Yes. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Does the bath have to be removed?

No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.

Repair or replace in Barton on Sea?

A new bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and several days without a working bathroom. Re-enamelling renews the whole surface without moving it. Prices start 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Barton on Sea customers choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Read our prices page and guide to resurfacing and replacement costs.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath, we can give you a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Barton on Sea

Enamel doesn’t fail overnight. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths dull the surface, typically first under the taps and around the waste.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • A coating lifting around the plughole
  • Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
  • An outdated colour you’d like to change
  • Several chips and rust patches

Comparing quotes

  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes the best part of a day, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
  2. Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
  3. We degrease the bath, fix any damage and key the surface.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
