Bath re-enamelling in Baybridge, done in place

We re-enamel a lot of period and roll-top baths, which are heavy, hard to move and costly to replace. Resurfacing them in place keeps the original bath. Typical jobs include worn patches where water runs and sits and a peeling or bubbling previous coating, on Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Baybridge as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What bath re-enamelling costs

Prices start from £350. There’s no charge for travel to Baybridge. The price comes down to:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Avoid suction-cup mats
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away
  • Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.

If a previous coating is starting to peel, don’t pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the bath means a plumber, lifting out the old bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Re-enamelling gives the bath a new finish without moving it. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What your bath is made of matters

Roll-top and period baths

Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.

Acrylic

Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a full day.

  1. We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
  2. We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
  3. We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
  4. The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
  5. The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

Baybridge: your questions answered

How long will the bath be out of use?

Generally a day, then it’s ready to use the following day. A badly pitted bath can need a second day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will there be fumes?

Yes, while we are applying the finish. We set up ventilation and the smell fades as it cures.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

When to call us in Baybridge

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
  • A roll-top that is seen better days
  • Wear marks under the taps
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
