About our bath re-enamelling in Bassett Green
We resurface cast iron, steel and acrylic baths, including roll-tops and period baths. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with staining under the taps and around the waste and an outdated colour you’d like to change, we can help.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are so heavy that repairing in place makes obvious sense. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that is the part we put right.
FAQs for Bassett Green
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you work in Bassett Green?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bassett Green for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.
How long is the bath unusable?
Most baths are done in a day, ready the next day. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the new finish last?
Look after it and it lasts. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It clears as the finish cures.
Landlord and trade work in Bassett Green
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Southampton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What bath re-enamelling costs
Prices start from £350. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SO16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Bassett Green
Enamel wears gradually. Years of cleaning, hard water and hot baths wear the gloss away, starting where water runs and sits.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A coloured bath you want in white
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- A dull, rough surface that won’t come clean
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a full day for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We mask and protect the room and ventilate it.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray on the new enamel finish in several coats.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Get any chip repaired quickly
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Keep suction mats out of the bath
Use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, don’t use suction bath mats, and keep bottles and razors off the surface.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
