DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
About our bath re-enamelling in Beaulieu
After cleaning, repairing and priming, we spray on the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we don’t cut corners on it. Typical jobs include stains that won’t shift and lots of chips and rust spots, in cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and Victorian roll-tops.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Beaulieu as everywhere else we work.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes the best part of a day, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can

FAQs for Beaulieu
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How durable is a resurfaced bath?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Avoid abrasive cleaners and suction mats.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. We work on the bath in place, with the room protected and ventilated.
Do you cover Beaulieu?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Beaulieu for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Fix dripping taps quickly
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
The first few days matter most: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. From then on, avoid abrasives and suction mats.
Don’t try to scrub a worn bath back to shine. It just wears the enamel further.
What your bath is made of matters
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath
- A bath that is rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Cast iron baths
What we are called out for in Beaulieu
Many baths we resurface have simply been well used, and only the surface is worn. Underneath, a cast iron or steel bath is generally as strong as ever.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repair or replace: which is better?
A replacement frequently means several trades over several days. Resurfacing takes one technician and typically a day. Prices start from £350. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
