Bath re-enamelling in Basingstoke, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Our repair technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and cast iron baths, and people most frequently call us about brown or grey marks that don’t clean off and thin, worn enamel in places.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.
Questions from Basingstoke
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Hampshire.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
In most cases. The old coating comes off before we resurface it. Tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so the tiles and taps stay put.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Different materials, different repairs
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.

Common problems we fix in Basingstoke
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. That’s the point where re-enamelling makes sense.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A coating lifting around the plughole
- Stains that will not shift
- Enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough
- A coloured bath you want in white
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What we do, step by step
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’re doing. Most jobs take a full day, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The room is masked, protected and ventilated.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s normally ready the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Basingstoke, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
